1. What is kWh/100km to Miles Conversion?

This calculator converts energy consumption per 100 kilometers to equivalent distance in miles based on a vehicle's energy efficiency. It's useful for comparing electric vehicle performance metrics across different measurement systems.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

\[ Miles = \frac{(kWh/100km \times 62.137)}{kWh/Mile} \]

Where:

\( kWh/100km \) — Energy consumption per 100 kilometers
\( 62.137 \) — Conversion factor (100km in miles)
\( kWh/Mile \) — Vehicle's energy efficiency in kilowatt-hours per mile

Explanation: The formula first converts the 100km distance to miles (62.137 miles), then calculates how far the vehicle could travel with the same energy based on its efficiency.

3. Importance of Energy Efficiency Conversion

Details: This conversion helps compare electric vehicle efficiency metrics between regions that use different measurement systems (metric vs imperial). It's particularly useful for international EV comparisons and understanding range specifications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter energy consumption in kWh/100km and vehicle efficiency in kWh/mile. Both values must be positive numbers. The result shows the equivalent distance in miles.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why convert kWh/100km to miles?
A: This conversion helps understand how an EV's energy consumption rating in metric units translates to distance in imperial units, useful for comparing vehicles from different markets.

Q2: What's a good kWh/100km value for EVs?
A: Most modern EVs range between 15-25 kWh/100km. Lower values indicate better efficiency.

Q3: How do I find my vehicle's kWh/mile value?
A: Check your vehicle's specifications or divide its battery capacity (kWh) by its EPA-rated range (miles).

Q4: Why is 62.137 used in the formula?
A: This is the exact conversion of 100 kilometers to miles (1 km = 0.621371 miles).

Q5: Can I use this for gasoline vehicles?
A: No, this is specific to electric vehicles. For gasoline vehicles, you'd use liters/100km and convert to MPG.
