The best diesel is about 26% efficient as I recall.
Most electric vehicles are over 90% efficient.
Quote from Wikipedia
"Modern passenger car diesel engines may have an effective efficiency of up to 43%,[138] whilst engines in large diesel trucks, and buses can achieve peak efficiencies around 45%.[139] However, average efficiency over a driving cycle is lower than peak efficiency. For example, it might be 37% for an engine with a peak efficiency of 44%.[140] The highest diesel engine efficiency of up to 55% is achieved by large two-stroke watercraft diesel engines." |
