Steven Brudenell@TechConnectify I would love to know how you figure this stuff out.
If I just type "what are the trade-offs of a hybrid engine?" into Google, I could never arrive at the picture you present.
(I don't think I could have, even before the current infestation of AI slop results. I just don't know how to get started on answering a deep question in a domain I'm not familiar with).
From your other videos I know you're good at reading patents to figure out how stuff works, but this goes beyond that.
@sbrudenell In this case, it's genuinely because I think about energy a lot and what consumes it in what processes.
Understanding the inefficiencies of things helps identify opportunities. Then when you look at what engineers are doing to leverage those opportunities, you can piece together the details.

The conversion efficiency is also why coasting is better than regenerative braking. it’s wild that hypermiling in a BEV and in a classic ICE is still basically the same strategy (use least amount of torque, be it positive or negative)
