Electric car EPA fuel economy

Add article description


The following table compares official EPA ratings for fuel economy (in miles per gallon gasoline equivalent, mpg-e or MPGe, for plug-in electric vehicles) for series production all-electric passenger vehicles rated by the EPA for model years 2015,[1] 2016,[2] 2017,[3] and 2023[4] versus the model year 2016 vehicles that were rated the most efficient by the EPA with plug-in hybrid drivetrains (Chevrolet Volt  second generation), gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrains (Toyota Prius Eco - fourth generation),[5][6][7] and the average new vehicle for that model year, which has a fuel economy of 25 mpgUS (9.4 L/100 km; 30 mpgimp).[2][5]

EPA rating data are taken from manufacturer testing of their own vehicles, usually conducted using pre-production prototypes. Manufacturers report the results to EPA, which reviews the results and confirms about 15%–20% of them through their own tests at the National Vehicles and Fuel Emissions Laboratory.[8]
