Kilometers per kilowatt-hour to kilowatt-hours per 100 miles Converter

Enter the kilometers per kilowatt-hour, then press Calculate. The kilowatt-hours per 100 miles stay hidden while you type.

Swap

Press Calculate after the entries are in.

What this electric car efficiency conversion is for

Use this page when a measurement is written in kilometers per kilowatt-hour and the next step needs kilowatt-hours per 100 miles. The number stays blank until you press Calculate, so a half-typed entry is never mistaken for the answer.

The factor

Electric economy flips the same way fuel economy does. kWh/100 km = 100 ÷ km per kWh. Miles per kWh = km per kWh ÷ 1.609344. MPGe uses the EPA gasoline equivalent of 33.7 kWh per gallon, so MPGe = 33.7 × miles per kWh.

A worked example

4 kilometers per kilowatt-hour are 40.2336 kilowatt-hours per 100 miles. Multiply the result by the reverse factor if you want the original number back.

How to check it

Write the factor down, do the multiply on paper, and compare it with the result card. If you change a sentence on this page, edit the HTML file and reload. The form and this note live in the same file.

The reverse conversion is kilowatt-hours per 100 miles to kilometers per kilowatt-hour. A nearby pair in the same units is kilometers per kilowatt-hour to miles per gallon equivalent. When the converted number is the input to a job, continue with the gas versus electric cost.
