Fuel bowsers should be in units of energy, not litres. Then people would see that a petrol or diesel vehicle uses about 10 times as much energy to achieve the same range, as an EV. 1 litre of petrol is about 9 kWh of energy. That means a typical fuelling of a standard petrol car (say 60-80L) is adding 540-720 kWh of energy to the car. An EV only needs 60-100 kWh. You can see just how appallingly inefficient petrol and diesel vehicles are. They’re rubbish.
