Extra Efficient


The abnormality that I attempted to capture with this image is that my "miles per kiliowatt hour" was higher than the average.  I usually only get 3.4 mpkWh, but in this trip I got 3.8.  That might not seem like much, but it's quite rare for me.  However, it's mostly due to that fact that in the short 5 miles trip that I took, my average speed was 40 mph.

Anything between 3 and 4 mpkWh in an electric car is normal, I've yet to break 3.9 mpkWh, but I've heard that it's been done in the same model the I own.  This measurement is akin to that of the internal combustion engine vehicle "miles per gallon (mpg)".

A gallon of gasoline is roughly 34 kWh, so 3.8 mpkWh is equivalent to 129 mpg.
