The vast majority of losses in an ICE vehicle occur in the conversion of chemical energy to mechanical—the so-called Carnot Efficiency—which might approach 40% in the best of cases. This will result in a winding with twice the resistance, but since losses are proportional to current squared, the net effect is a 50% reduction in losses.
