      It mentions things like reducing friction, enhancing aerodynamics, etc., which should have be applied to all cars long ago. There might be slight differences in what efficiencies apply since components are different, but a lot are shared like shape of the body shell, lots of components in the wheels, axles, transmissions, etc., that could have friction reduced, etc.

      EVs are inherently cheaper that CE-based alternatives.

      So unless this is about stopping the 24/7 propaganda of fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s just some useless PR stunt.
