*Electric vehicle fuel economy is typically measured in kilowatt-hours per 100 miles (kWh/100 mi). However, to make comparisons with gasoline vehicles easier, we have converted the fuel economy estimates to miles per gasoline gallon equivalent (MPGE). This is calculated assuming that 1 gallon of gasoline is equal to 33.7 kWh of electricity.
