What this tool does
Convert kilowatt-hours per 100 miles to kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers, miles per kWh, km per kWh, MPGe and other EV efficiency units. Type an amount in kilowatt-hours per 100 miles, choose the units, and the tool converts it to kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers. 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 miles.
- To: Choose one of the same 11 units as "From". Starts as Kilowatt-hour per 100 kilometers.
How to use
- Enter the amount you want to convert.
- Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
- 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 miles to kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers:
- 1 kWh/100 mi ≈ 0.621371 kWh/100 km
- 5 kWh/100 mi ≈ 3.106856 kWh/100 km
- 10 kWh/100 mi ≈ 6.213712 kWh/100 km
- 50 kWh/100 mi ≈ 31.06856 kWh/100 km
- 100 kWh/100 mi ≈ 62.137119 kWh/100 km
Multiply the number of kilowatt-hours per 100 miles by about 0.621371 to get kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers. The factor follows from exact definitions. It has more digits than fit here, so it is shown rounded.
Sources: Kilowatt-hour per 100 miles: exact by definition. Kilowatt-hour per 100 kilometers: 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 mi to kWh/100 km?
- A: Enter the value, keep kilowatt-hours per 100 miles (kWh/100 mi) in the From box and kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers (kWh/100 km) in the To box. For example, 30 kWh/100 mi is about 18.64 kWh/100 km.
- 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. 30 kWh/100 mi is about 18.64 kWh/100 km.
- 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 km to kWh/100 mi instead?
- A: Yes. Swap the From and To boxes. For example, 30 kWh/100 km is about 48.28 kWh/100 mi.
