The efficiency of an internal combustion engine typically ranges from 20% to 30%. This means that only 20-30% of the total energy from the fuel is used to move the vehicle; the rest is lost as wasted heat. Some modern engines can achieve efficiency closer to 40%, but they are exceptions rather than the rule. It’s important to note, efficiency can also be affected by factors such as the type of fuel used, engine design, driving conditions, maintenance of the car, and the type and efficiency of the transmission system among others. By comparison, electric motors used in electric cars can be more than 90% efficient.
