Kilometers Per Kilowatt-hour to Miles Per Gallon Gasoline Equivalent Conversion (Km/kWh to MPGe)

Kilometers Per Kilowatt-hour

Kilometers per kilowatt-hour is a measure of electric vehicle energy efficiency equivalent to the number of kilometers a vehicle can travel using one kilowatt-hour of energy.

The kilometer per kilowatt-hour is an SI unit of electric car efficiency in the metric system. Kilometers per kilowatt-hour can be abbreviated as km/kWh; for example, 1 kilometer per kilowatt-hour can be written as 1 km/kWh.

In formal expressions, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to separate units used to indicate division in an expression.

Miles Per Gallon Gasoline Equivalent

Miles per gallon gasoline equivalent is a way of measuring the energy needed equivalent to a gallon of gasoline to travel a distance in miles.

Because electric vehicles do not consume gasoline, the EPA set an equivalent amount of energy in kilowatt-hours that is equal to one gallon of gasoline. According to the EPA, one gallon of gasoline is equal to 33.705 kilowatt-hours.^[1]

The mile per gallon gasoline equivalent is a US customary unit of electric car efficiency. Miles per gallon gasoline equivalent can be abbreviated as MPGe; for example, 1 mile per gallon gasoline equivalent can be written as 1 MPGe.
