SINGAPORE – Comparing a petrol car with an electric one may seem like comparing chalk with cheese. But bear with me and I will show you such an exercise is not as ludicrous as it sounds.

To start, the two cars in question are compact hatches with similar dimensions. The petrol-powered Volkswagen Golf 1.5 is 4,285mm long, 1,789mm wide and 1,459mm tall with a 2,620mm wheelbase. The battery-driven Mini Aceman is 4,079mm long, 1,754mm wide and 1,514mm tall with a 2,606mm wheelbase.
