Haha —after owning a coyote for five years I'm not sure its any better lol and I now second guess using one for an engine swap.

You know there are Coyote owners around the globe hating on you for that comment.

^ I also don't consider it the holly grail so many worship.

I would only go with a Coyote motor for reliability and modification factors.

Wonder why Audi is a comparatively low loss?

I think they are use a higher output then the rest iirc wonder of that why

Dunno, but it’s an expensive flagship car, maybe it’s super-insulated compared to the others? I was initially thinking it was some kind of German engineering trick, but then I looked at the VW, lol

EVs hate cold. This is a poor c/p so people don’t need to click a link.

Love the post with factual statistics!

But any debate needs the other side represented. Where are the stats on ICE in the cold?
Not as bad as EV’s, but still a good 15% in the same cold.

I've never owned a car or truck that got 15% decrease in range in the cold.

These are very misleading numbers. They do not factor in heaters and snow etc. In reality you can expect more like 40% loss or more.

Heaters I get, a direct energy consumer.

What do you mean by snow? I have my assumptions but they're just that. Are certain weather factors more detrimental to ICE or EV's that I'm not understanding?

I went to the Ministry of Natural Resources page and couldn't find this study. Commenters on this thread mentioned burying the report with insinuations of purposeful hiding of negative info. I have no idea either way, but have my suspicions.
