1. What is Miles Per kWh?

Miles per kWh is a measure of electric vehicle efficiency, showing how many miles an EV can travel using one kilowatt-hour of electricity. It's the electric equivalent of miles per gallon (MPG) for gasoline vehicles.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

\[ \text{Miles per kWh} = \frac{\text{Miles Driven}}{\text{Energy Used (kWh)}} \]

Where:

Miles — Distance traveled (miles)
kWh — Energy consumed (kilowatt-hours)

Explanation: This ratio directly shows the energy efficiency of an electric vehicle's performance.

3. Importance of Miles Per kWh Calculation

Details: Knowing your EV's miles per kWh helps estimate range, compare efficiency between vehicles, and calculate charging costs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter miles driven and kWh used from your charging sessions. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a good miles per kWh value?
A: Most EVs get 3-4 miles/kWh. Higher numbers indicate better efficiency.

Q2: How does this compare to MPGe?
A: MPGe converts kWh to gallons of gasoline equivalent, while miles/kWh is a direct efficiency measurement.

Q3: Does weather affect miles per kWh?
A: Yes, cold weather typically reduces efficiency by 15-30%.

Q4: How can I improve my miles per kWh?
A: Drive smoothly, avoid high speeds, minimize use of climate control, and keep tires properly inflated.

Q5: Should I calculate this over multiple trips?
A: For best accuracy, track over several charging cycles to account for different driving conditions.
