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 kilometers per kilowatt-hour. 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 0.19101984 kilometers per kilowatt-hour. Multiply the result by the reverse factor if you want the original number back.
