EV efficiency

Why are EVs more efficient?

Great news! Electric cars are far more efficient than ICE vehicles in fuel used per mile and so cost per mile aswell.

This is to do with the way the energy is extracted from the fuel as well as the losses made in the creation of the kinetic energy.

For both of these reasons, EVs are both cheaper to run and the ongoing impact of an EV is much less than a non-EV aswell.

Did you know

  • The typical 325kWh per mile EV will do 3.1 miles per kWh
  • A fossil fuelled car doing 50 miles to gallon (mpg) will get 1.2 miles per kWh
  • A fossil fuelled car doing 40 mpg will get one mile per kWh
  • The EV is getting roughly 124mpg – almost 2.5 times the efficiency of the 50 mpg diesel and more than triple the 40 mpg car.
