Kilowatt-hours Per 100 Kilometers to Miles Per Gallon Gasoline Equivalent Conversion (KWh/100km to MPGe)

Kilowatt-hours Per 100 Kilometers

Kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers are a measure of electric vehicle energy efficiency equal to the kilowatt-hours of energy needed for a vehicle to travel 100 kilometers.

The kilowatt-hour per 100 kilometers is an SI unit of electric car efficiency in the metric system. Kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers can be abbreviated as kWh/100km, for example 1 kilowatt-hour per 100 kilometers can be written as 1 kWh/100km.

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.
