How to convert MPGe to kWh/100km

kWh/100km = 2094.0 ÷ MPGe

Example: 130 MPGe → 2094.0 ÷ 130 = 16.1 kWh/100km

About this conversion

Working backwards from MPGe to kWh/100km: kWh/100km = 2094.0 ÷ MPGe. The constant 2094 is 33.7 kWh/gallon × 62.1371 miles/100km.

A vehicle with an EPA rating of 130 MPGe consumes 16.1 kWh/100km. A 100 MPGe rating means 20.9 kWh/100km — about average for a full-size EV SUV. These kWh/100km figures integrate directly into range calculations, charging time estimates, and electricity cost computations anywhere in the world.

MPGe ratings are only issued by the US EPA, so converting to kWh/100km lets you compare American EV models with European WLTP-tested vehicles on a single scale. Multiply kWh/100km by your local electricity price per kWh to get cost per 100 km, then compare directly against L/100km × price per litre for petrol.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert 130 MPGe to kWh/100km?

kWh/100km = 2094.0 ÷ 130 = 16.1 kWh/100km. The constant 2094 = 33.7 kWh/gallon × 62.1371 miles per 100 km.

Which vehicles have the highest MPGe ratings?

Efficient compact EVs like the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 often exceed 130 MPGe. Larger vehicles like the Ford F-150 Lightning may score 60–80 MPGe due to higher mass and aerodynamic drag.

Can I use this conversion for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles?

Yes. The EPA uses MPGe for both EVs and fuel-cell vehicles (FCEVs). The same formula applies since MPGe is defined purely in terms of energy content, regardless of how that energy is stored.
