Slow Rivian news day today so I thought I might post this...
I was just learning about the "MPG illusion". Many of y'all may already know this but I think it would be good thing to advocate for as we adopt EVs, there is a chance to make this right.
The TLDR is that our brains have trouble calculating improvements in efficiency because of how we represent it. Our brains have a much easier time reasoning when the numerator and denominator are flipped (like they do in most of the rest of the world. (kwh/100km))
