  That doesn’t explain why ICE vehicles are much better efficiency-wise than EV ones at higher speeds, just why EVs don’t do so well. Another post responding to me addresses it well.

    Do you mean that ICE is more efficient than EV at higher speeds, or that ICE scales better than EV?

      ICE vehicles have better MPG at higher speeds, EVs at lower speeds.

      Neither. ICE reaches its best efficiency at higher speeds than EV does, but it is still less efficient than EV at all speeds.
