MPGe to Kilowatt-Hours per 100 Miles Converter
Result:
67.41 kWh/100mi
Understanding MPGe and kWh/100mi Conversion
The EPA created Miles Per Gallon equivalent (MPGe) to help consumers compare electric vehicles with conventional gas-powered cars. One gallon of gasoline contains the energy equivalent of 33.705 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity.
Conversion Formula
To convert MPGe to kilowatt-hours per 100 miles:
kWh/100mi = 3370.5 ÷ MPGe
Why This Matters
While MPGe helps compare with gas vehicles, kWh/100mi is often more practical for EV owners as it directly relates to:
- Actual electricity consumption
- Charging costs calculation
- Range estimation
- Real-world efficiency comparison
