1. What is kWh/100 Miles?

kWh/100 miles is a standard metric for measuring the energy efficiency of electric vehicles. It represents how many kilowatt-hours of energy a vehicle uses to travel 100 miles, allowing for easy comparison between different EV models.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• kWh — Total energy consumed in kilowatt-hours
• Miles — Distance traveled in miles

Explanation: The formula converts your actual energy consumption to a standardized 100-mile distance for easier comparison.

3. Importance of Energy Consumption Measurement

Details: Tracking kWh/100 miles helps EV owners understand their vehicle's efficiency, estimate charging costs, and compare performance under different driving conditions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total energy consumption in kWh and the distance traveled in miles. Both values must be greater than zero. The calculator will compute your energy consumption per 100 miles.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a good kWh/100 miles value?
A: Most modern EVs range between 25-35 kWh/100 miles. Lower values indicate better efficiency.

Q2: How does this compare to MPGe?
A: MPGe is another efficiency metric that converts kWh to gasoline energy equivalents. 33.7 kWh = 1 gallon gasoline equivalent.

Q3: Why use 100 miles as the standard?
A: It provides a consistent reference point that makes comparisons easier, similar to liters/100km used in many countries.

Q4: Does driving style affect kWh/100 miles?
A: Yes, aggressive acceleration, high speeds, and frequent braking can significantly increase energy consumption.

Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but your actual energy consumption may vary based on many factors including temperature, terrain, and vehicle load.
