EV Equivalent MPG

I found this approach to measuring the climate friendliness of an electric vehicle an interesting approach since it gives us a number in units we are all used to and you will see it improve as more electricity production moves to renewables. Just plug in your values and see the equivalent MPG figure for your EV

EV efficiency

miles / kWh

This should be listed on your EV dashboard

Electricity production carbon intensity

g / kWh

This can be found for a lot of places here

Cost equivalent MPG

This calculates the equivalent MPG figure required by a petrol car to cost the same as an EV

Cost of electricity

/ kWh

This should be on your electricity bill
