> Guess how the production of those scales with higher speeds?

I am guessing you don’t know yourself which is why you’re posing questions as an argument.

> Guess what, that's changing with EVs. Hybrid or not.

It’s not changing. Consistency of speed is important no matter what. Regenerative braking is imperfect.



1. I do know, higher speeds, higher particulate production from road and break wear.

2. Yes, it is changing, LOL. And this is not about breaks. I was talking about power consumption. EV power consumption, unlike ICEs, is linear. So EV are obviously more power efficient at lower speeds. Besides the particulate generation aspect outlined before.
