Then take the time to go back to your original claim and you'll soon recognize that you've just been talking out your ass this whole time about a trivial and irrelevant claim that isn't supported in the real world.

You routed a comparison of an EV to an ICE power-train through HP, which is basically invalidated the comparison from the start, because as a basic comparison it doesn't make sense. And the reason why isn't just physics. But I'm not going to tell you more then that. You need to be curious enough to develop an understanding of why its a false equivalency to do so. You not understanding why that is the case is the entire point. Like you genuinely aren't worth arguing about this because your lack of understanding is so clear.

And if you can't take the time to be introspective enough to recognize that, you genuinely aren't worth the time.

Haha. Horse power is just another measurement of power like Watts. Just different units. Like km vs miles. You've realized that you're wrong and have nothing but insults left. Sad.

Jesus fuck you are still here? The guy who still doesn't know what horsepower is? That its not actually "just another measurement of power". That the term doesn't actually mean what they think it means?

Maybe do some research before embarrassing yourself further? Or not. Whatever!

Ahh yes. The peewee herman defense. From the guy who isn't willing to even dare testing their theory in reality.

What theory would you think I should test, whether 1hp=0.746kW ? That's not even something to test, it's based on definitions.
