> batteries are incredibly inefficient compared to petrol

What are you getting on about? By what metric?



Weight, presumably, because that's the topic of the parent comment. Mile for mile, batteries are heavy and gasoline is (comparatively) light


I assume they are referring to batteries having lower energy/power density, as opposed to the efficiency of the drivetrain
