Automotive energy consumption

The energy consumption calculation of a car usually involves the calculation of fuel and gas consumption, and the basic method is to divide the amount of fuel consumed by the mileage traveled. For example, if you have driven 500 kilometers and consumed 40 liters of gasoline, the fuel consumption calculation is as follows: 40 liters/500 kilometers x 100=8 liters/100 kilometers. To obtain more accurate results, please make sure to calculate the mileage between the two refills of oil or gas.
For new energy vehicles such as pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles, the energy consumption calculation method is similar to fuel consumption, which converts electrical energy consumption into fuel consumption. For example, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) converts the electricity consumption of pure electric vehicles into gasoline consumption for intuitive comparison with traditional cars
