How can I convert EV energy use (kWh/100 miles) into MPGe?

Converting kWh/100 Miles to MPGe

The EPA defines 1 gallon of gasoline as equivalent to 33.7 kWh of energy. To calculate MPGe:

  • Formula: MPGe = (33.7 ÷ kWh per 100 miles) × 100

Example: An EV that uses 28 kWh/100 mi:
(33.7 ÷ 28) × 100 ≈ 120 MPGe

This helps compare EV efficiency directly to gasoline cars.
