Kilowatt-hour per 100 kilometers Converter

Convert kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers to kWh per 100 miles, km per kWh, miles per kWh, MPGe, Wh/km and other EV efficiency units.

What this tool does

Convert kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers to kWh per 100 miles, km per kWh, miles per kWh, MPGe, Wh/km and other EV efficiency units. Type an amount in kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers, choose the units, and the tool converts it to kilowatt-hours per 100 miles. It offers 11 electric vehicle efficiency units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one from 11 options, including Kilometer per kilowatt-hour, Mile per kilowatt-hour, Mile per gallon gasoline equivalent (MPGe), Kilowatt-hour per 100 kilometers, Kilowatt-hour per 100 miles, Kilowatt-hour per kilometer. Starts as Kilowatt-hour per 100 kilometers.
  • To: Choose one of the same 11 units as "From". Starts as Kilowatt-hour per 100 miles.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers to kilowatt-hours per 100 miles:

  • 1 kWh/100 km = 1.609344 kWh/100 mi
  • 5 kWh/100 km = 8.04672 kWh/100 mi
  • 10 kWh/100 km = 16.09344 kWh/100 mi
  • 50 kWh/100 km = 80.4672 kWh/100 mi
  • 100 kWh/100 km = 160.9344 kWh/100 mi

Multiply the number of kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers by 1.609344 to get kilowatt-hours per 100 miles. Both units are exact definitions, so 1.609344 is the exact factor: 1 kWh/100 km = 1.609344 kWh/100 mi.

Sources: Kilowatt-hour per 100 kilometers: exact by definition. Kilowatt-hour per 100 miles: exact by definition.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of an efficiency figure only. It does not estimate range, charging losses or running cost.
  • MPGe is based on the EPA figure of 33.705 kWh per US gallon of gasoline. Other sources may round it to 33.7.
  • The mile is the international mile (1.609344 km).

FAQs

Q: How do I convert kWh/100 km to kWh/100 mi?
A: Enter the value, keep kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers (kWh/100 km) in the From box and kilowatt-hours per 100 miles (kWh/100 mi) in the To box. For example, 18 kWh/100 km is about 28.97 kWh/100 mi.
Q: Does a lower number mean a more efficient car?
A: Yes. Both units count energy used per distance, so a lower figure means less energy per 100 km or 100 miles. 18 kWh/100 km is about 28.97 kWh/100 mi.
Q: How is MPGe defined here?
A: MPGe uses the US EPA definition (40 CFR 600.002): one US gallon of gasoline is equivalent to 33.705 kWh of electricity. It is a US gallon, not an imperial gallon.
Q: Can I convert from kWh/100 mi to kWh/100 km instead?
A: Yes. Swap the From and To boxes. For example, 18 kWh/100 mi is about 11.18 kWh/100 km.
