1. What is Miles per kWh?

Miles per kilowatt-hour (miles/kWh) is a measure of how efficiently an electric vehicle converts electrical energy into distance traveled. It's the EV equivalent of miles per gallon (MPG) for gasoline vehicles.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Miles Driven — Distance traveled (miles)
• kWh Used — Energy consumed (kilowatt-hours)

Explanation: This calculation shows how many miles your Tesla can travel on one kilowatt-hour of energy.

3. Importance of Energy Efficiency

Details: Monitoring your Tesla's efficiency helps understand battery performance, estimate range, and compare driving habits or conditions. Higher values indicate better efficiency.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: For accurate results, use data from a full charge cycle or significant driving period. You can find kWh used in your Tesla's energy app or trip meter.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a good miles/kWh value for a Tesla?
A: Most Teslas average 3-4 miles/kWh. Model 3 and Y are typically more efficient than Model S and X.

Q2: Why does my efficiency vary?
A: Factors like speed, temperature, terrain, climate control use, and driving style significantly impact efficiency.

Q3: How can I improve my Tesla's efficiency?
A: Drive at moderate speeds (45-65 mph), use regenerative braking, minimize rapid acceleration, and pre-condition while plugged in.

Q4: Does this account for charging losses?
A: No, this calculates efficiency based on energy used while driving. Charging typically adds 10-15% overhead.

Q5: How does this relate to range?
A: Multiply your battery capacity (e.g., 75 kWh) by your efficiency (e.g., 4 miles/kWh) to estimate range (300 miles).
