Wh/km And kWh/100 Km (EV Consumption)
Wh/km and kWh/100 km describe how much electrical energy an electric car uses per distance, like fuel consumption for petrol cars.
What is Wh/km And kWh/100 Km (EV Consumption)?
Efficient small EVs use around 14–17 kWh/100 km in mild weather. 150 Wh/km equals 15 kWh/100 km. Speed, heating and temperature have a big effect. Preconditioning the cabin while plugged in reduces winter consumption on the road.
How it works
Energy taken from the battery is divided by distance driven.
Why it matters for your car
Charging losses mean energy drawn from the grid is higher than the trip computer value. Winter consumption can be much higher than summer.
