Key Definitions

• Miles per kWh (mi/kWh): How many miles an EV can drive on one kilowatt-hour of electricity.
• Cost per mile: The cost to drive one mile, using either electricity or gasoline.
• Equivalent Gas Price: The gasoline price that would result in the same cost per mile as your EV.
• MPG (Miles per Gallon): How many miles a gas-powered car can travel on one gallon of fuel.
