Enter the efficiency of an electric vehicle (miles per kWh) and the energy in kWh into the calculator to determine the equivalent miles that can be driven. This calculator helps in estimating the range of an electric vehicle based on its battery capacity and efficiency.
kWh to Miles Formula
The following formula is used to convert kWh to miles.
M = E * Eff
Variables:
- M is the miles that can be driven
- E is the energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh)
- Eff is the efficiency in miles per kWh
To calculate the miles that can be driven, multiply the energy in kWh by the efficiency in miles per kWh.
What is Efficiency in Electric Vehicles?
Efficiency in electric vehicles refers to how effectively the vehicle converts electrical energy from the battery into movement, measured in miles per kWh. Higher efficiency means more distance can be covered per unit of energy, which is crucial for maximizing the range of the vehicle.
How to Calculate Miles from kWh?
The following steps outline how to calculate the miles that can be driven from kWh.
- First, determine the efficiency of the electric vehicle (Eff) in miles per kWh.
- Next, determine the energy available (E) in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
- Use the formula from above = M = E * Eff.
- Finally, calculate the miles (M) that can be driven.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Efficiency of the electric vehicle (Eff) = 4 miles per kWh
Energy available (E) = 24 kWh
