energy consumption car vs bike
gas car uses ~ 4x more energy than an EV electric car
25,000 kWh is the energy savings of riding a bike instead of driving an
electric car.
energy to ride a bike is much much lower. Like on the order of
2000-4000 mpg
100,000 miles on bike approx 25,000 Kwh .... or 4 Kwh per mile
Assuming 2000 mpg, the energy a bike rider uses to go 100,000 miles is
about 1730 kWh, not 25,000 kWh.
100,000 miles / 2000 miles per gallon = 50 gallons (of equivalent
gasoline energy).
34.6 kWh per gallon * 50 gallons = 1730 kWh.
100,000 miles / 1730 kWh = 58 miles/kWh (+ 1000 gallons chocolate milk)
