What this electric car efficiency conversion is for
Use this page when a measurement is written in miles per gallon equivalent and the next step needs kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers. 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 miles per gallon equivalent are 523.505825 kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers. Multiply the result by the reverse factor if you want the original number back.
