Re: Meanwhile for the adults who want facts, and not just spin, about the real-world observed impacts of stop and go traffic congestion on EV ranges....
Yep, EV's have more range in stop and go traffic, right Clem?
LMAO...
Is it really that hard to look up? EV range impacts due to stop and go traffic
Regenerative braking is good, but it also has problems in keeping up with extreme stop and go traffic congestion, as the real research notes.
Apparently (maybe unknown to some folks?), those effects of Newton's laws of motion and that pesky need to overcome inertia, would seem to have a bigger impact in the kind of "stop and go" impacts we observe in real congested EV operations.
In assessing the real-world impacts of traffic congestion, I usually tend to prefer to use the actual real-world "observed" impacts of stop and go traffic congestion on EV range. As I've usually found that this kind of scientific observation/experimental data-based approach tends to be a better indicator/predictor of the most likely real-world outcomes.
But there are some folks who can tend to just grab whatever they can (from wherever?) to defend their positions, when confronted by these sorts of observed real-world impacts of stop and go traffic congestion on EV's...
Oh well...
