...the US market is largely not interested in fuel-efficiency--not even with the advent of widely-available EVs.
All of this "tech" isn't being utilized to improve fuel-mileage--we're using it to squeeze 300+hp out of 2.0L turbo'd 4-bangers. Could we have used that same tech to produce a car with 100-120 hp, AND gotten 100+mpg?--I'm confident that we could. Would it sell?--NOPE.
I have a Tesla Model S with a 110 Kwh battery and a little over 400 miles of range. Would it go farther with a smaller battery if it didn't pull sub-5 second 0-60 times? I'm sure it would, but no one is pushing for that. The new Porsche EVs do even worse. Same/similar battery-capacities, and nearly half the range. How energy-efficient is that?
