Overview:
The miles per kWh calculator enables you to quickly calculate the miles per kWh given a distance and the
amount of electricity used for the distance.
Instructions:
Distance: Enter the distance. A good way to determine the distance is to set your trip meter back to zero when you
recharge. Recharge your EV and note the start and end kWh readings and calculate the the difference in kWh.
This is now the amount of electricity used for the distance on the trip meter. For a more accurate reading repeat this a few times
and then average the result.
Electricity in kWh: Enter the amount of electricity you used corresponding to the distance travelled. You can get the kWh
from either the EV's statistics. Note this is not the amount of electricity used to charge the car.
Tips:
Determine your kWh per 100km for city driving and country driving separately. It's most likely you'll most drive your normal urban
routes, but when you do a long trip, it's best to use the country driving figure to estimate better.
The bold link to the Electric Vehicle Cost Calculator passes across the kWh/100km value to save retyping the value.
