I am not obsessing about range, and my Ariya is averaging around 3.5 miles per kWh ( 140 mpg equivalent- using the ‘multiply by 40’ rule which gives me a quick, rough idea, for comparison to petrol and diesel powered cars )
I don’t understand the multiply by 40 rule😂
Petrol has an energy density of approx 33.7kWh per gallon – e.g if you travel 100 miles on 33.7kWh of energy, the MPGe would be 100MPGe. At 3.5 miles kWh, therfore your MPGe figure is 117.95 MPGe or 28.57 kWh/100miles 0r 285.71 Wh/mile.
MPGe, is more a US thing for EV’s and PHEV’s and not typically used in europe, where metric miles (Km)/kWh or Wh/mile (Km) are typically used.
3.5 miles/kWh for 17 pence is cheap motoring, in a car that did 50mpg, the same 3.5 miles would cost just under 41 pence however, it would have been less than half the cost if OVO didn’t change Charge Anytime!
