Typical EV Energy Consumption
Electric vehicles (EVs) typically consume between 15 and 20 kWh per 100 km, depending on:
- Vehicle size and weight: Smaller EVs like city cars are more efficient (as low as 13 kWh/100 km), while large SUVs may consume over 22 kWh/100 km.
- Driving conditions: City driving with frequent stops can be more efficient due to regenerative braking, while highway speeds increase consumption.
- Weather and climate control: Cold weather and use of heating/AC can significantly impact energy use.
- Driving style: Aggressive acceleration and high speeds increase consumption.
- Tire type and pressure: Low-resistance tires and proper inflation improve efficiency.
