Its been a while so please bear with me. I may be mistaken but I assumed this topic had been discussed before. However, I had a hunt through the archives for notes on vehicle batteries and then checked out the errata but can't find any more details.
At each TL batteries take up less space per EP than fuel does. Why use a fuel burning engine at all? Sure, cost is a factor but at TL11 batteries can run a vehicle for 3 hrs 20 minutes for the same cost as an advanced fuel cell but only takes up 38% of the space.
It appears that only nuclear powerplants outperform batteries. Is this what was intended?
Or have I missed something glaringly obvious?
