Interesting results. Confirms what we already thought, which is also useful. I guess the ICE is even more inefficient (compared to an EV) on acceleration than in cruise. That makes sense because under higher load everything gets hotter, wasting more fuel as heat. Maybe that magnifies the normal differences in efficiency.
