A Typical EV is 87%–91% Efficient Compared to 30% for a Conventional Gasoline Vehicle

Monday, September 16, 2024

A typical EV is 87%–91% efficient (after taking regenerative braking into account) compared to about 30% for a conventional gasoline vehicle, depending on the drive cycle. Energy to the wheels, the portion of energy stored on the vehicle that is used to move the vehicle down the road, is 65%–69% and net regenerative braking recovers about 22% on the EPA combined city/highway drive cycle.
