... so that these technologies now produce motive energy instead of fossil-fuel equivalents.

The tank-to-wheel efficiencies are obtained from the carculator project, see

For the combined technologies apcardiEfft and apcardieEffH2t I kept Roberts efficiency multipliers for simplicity, although they deviate slightly from the PSI values.

Note: This patch requires https://github.com/pik-piam/mrremind/pull/21 to be accepted and updated inputdata to be in place.
