Don’t believe MPGe

[wsxedc12]

Texas 75th percentile gas price in recent 20 years:
$2.90/gal
M3LR consumption:
City 3.5mi/kWh, Hwy 3mi/kWh, Comb 3.25mi/kWh.
Avg electricity price for charging (of any kind):
$0.18/kWh
M3LR is actually just 52 combined mpg-e, 56 city, 48 highway.
Not something like 120+!!!!!!

MPGe doesn't use the price of electricity or gasoline to figure the number, it is based on the energy equivalent of each source: 1 gallon of gasoline generates the same ‘heat energy’ as 33.7 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

If your EV uses 337 Watts per mile, it will use 33.7 kW per 100 miles. A gasoline vehicle would have to use one gallon of gasoline per 100 miles to match it.

My Teslas rarely use over 300 Wpm on a drive. My electricity also costs much less than $0.18/kWh (even without solar).

Putting that into perspective, my Model 3 has a lifetime average of 238 Wpm over 60k miles
Also 93% of all my charging over that period has been from home at around 9-10 cents a kW
