Miles per kWh to kWh per 100 Miles Converter

Convert miles per kilowatt-hour to kilowatt-hours per 100 miles for comparing electric vehicle energy consumption.

What this tool does

Convert miles per kilowatt-hour to kilowatt-hours per 100 miles for comparing electric vehicle energy consumption. Type an amount in miles per kilowatt-hour, choose the units, and the tool converts it to kilowatt-hours per 100 miles. It offers 5 electric vehicle efficiency units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Kilometer per kilowatt-hour, Mile per kilowatt-hour, Mile per gallon gasoline equivalent (MPGe), Kilowatt-hour per 100 kilometers, Kilowatt-hour per 100 miles. Starts as Mile per kilowatt-hour.
  • To: Choose one of the same 5 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 miles per kilowatt-hour to kilowatt-hours per 100 miles:

  • 1 mi/kWh = 100 kWh/100 mi
  • 5 mi/kWh = 20 kWh/100 mi
  • 10 mi/kWh = 10 kWh/100 mi
  • 50 mi/kWh = 2 kWh/100 mi
  • 100 mi/kWh = 1 kWh/100 mi

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

Sources: Mile per kilowatt-hour: 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.

FAQs

Q: How do I convert mi/kWh to kWh/100 mi?
A: Enter the value, keep miles per kilowatt-hour (mi/kWh) in the From box and kilowatt-hours per 100 miles (kWh/100 mi) in the To box. For example, 4 mi/kWh is 25 kWh/100 mi.
Q: Why does a bigger number mean the opposite here?
A: Km/kWh, mi/kWh and MPGe count distance per unit of energy, so a higher number is more efficient. kWh per 100 km or 100 miles counts energy per distance, so a lower number is more efficient. Converting between the two kinds is a reciprocal, not a fixed multiplier.
Q: Can I convert from kWh/100 mi to mi/kWh instead?
A: Yes. Swap the From and To boxes. For example, 4 kWh/100 mi is 25 mi/kWh.
