The official label on electric vehicles gives a measurement of fuel economy listed as MPGe. Dealers and consumers should be aware of the new values.
So what does MPGe actually mean?
Effectively, MPGe is a measure that lets consumers compare the familiar measure of fuel economy in gasoline and diesel cars – miles per gallon – with the very different energy use of electric cars.
Normally measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), it isn’t always easy to see how much of a benefit you might be getting by running an electric car.
