Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

The only place range is an issue is when i need to go back home.
Currently working about 815km from home.

But for these cases, IC cars won't die out until technology has a solution for it
there is a lot to come...even in fast chargers

A 30 minute charge time isn't *terrible* either. I'm just used to cannonballing my way home because it takes 9 hours.

Honestly though I think debating purely about engines is about as giving as eating playdough. Some engines suit certain cars, and suit others. 

And you would be incorrect. Every vehicle needs at least 8 cylinders, and then you adjust displacement to needs.

I think range is a pretty made up issue. 
400 miles or even 400km is more than enough for most people and if you have to go 800 miles, you should take a few breaks anyway.

Great way to add on 2 hours to your trip. It's not like it wasn't slow enough already.
