Will an electric vehicle use less joules going up a hill than a gasoline vehicle, because electric vehicles are more efficient? I've read that electric vehicles use on average 800,000 joules per mile, while gas vehicles use 3.3 million joules per mile. Assuming those numbers are based on horizontal tests, I'm wondering how many joules each would use going up a 15 degree incline, for a total rise in elevation of 600 feet, and both vehicles weigh 3,000 pounds.
