You seem to be confusing efficiency of the movement of energy from battery to wheels with efficiency of energy per distance traveled. They are two different things. |
1) I can't contradict an assumption of unproven 'correctness.'
2) Nowhere does the paper illustrate the 'small' Volvo V40 SUV with additional mass.
3) The only 'heavier' car would be the S80 or XC90, neither of which are germane to the V40.
4) The V40 can only be compared to itself at a different mass, which is not illustrated. This is the premise for the comment about the Tesla Model 3.
5) When you see Volvo's 'solution' to the V40 inertia issue you my want to reconsider your remarks.
6) Do the math!
