Understanding EV Efficiency & Gas Vehicle MPG
EV Efficiency (kWh/100 miles): This indicates how much electric energy (in kilowatt-hours) an electric vehicle uses to travel 100 miles. Lower values mean the vehicle is more efficient.
Gas Vehicle MPG: MPG stands for Miles Per Gallon. It measures how many miles a gasoline-powered vehicle can travel using one gallon of fuel. Higher MPG means better fuel efficiency.
Average Efficiency Values in USA
Vehicle Type | EV Efficiency (kWh/100 miles) | Gas Vehicle MPG |
---|---|---|
Car | 28 – 35 | 20 – 30 |
Bike | 15 – 20 | 80 – 100 |
