8 electric cars that consume the least

megane e tech

Today, in a context marked by increasing environmental awareness and the impact of rising electricity prices, it has become necessary to control consumption. As far as electric cars are concerned, although they are more environmentally-friendly, with CO2 emissions at least three times lower than those of internal combustion cars, the fact remains that not all electric models consume the same amount of fuel.

So not all electric cars are created equal when it comes to virtue and ecological sobriety. So what are the most energy-efficient electric vehicles on the market today? In this article, we have listed the top electric vehicles with the lowest fuel consumption.

How to determine the fuel consumption of an electric car

There are different units of measurement as well as certain technical characteristics that can influence energy consumption of an electric vehicle. That's what we'll be looking at in this article.

Tools for measuring electric car consumption

It is possible to measure the average consumption of an electric vehicle. In fact, the unit of measurement MPGe or Miles Per Gallon Equivalentwhich measures the average distance covered per unit of energy consumed.

According to theEPA (US Environmental Protection Agency), in terms of energy value, the U.S. agency has estimated that the consumption of one gallon of gasoline (3.8 liters) represents a electricity consumption equivalent to 33.7 kWh.

The MPGe rating is therefore an effective tool for comparing the fuel consumption of an electric car with that of a combustion-powered vehicle. At the same time, this unit of measurement makes it possible to compare the average energy consumption of different electric car models, with the aim of identifying the most energy-efficient electric models.  

Another possible tool for measuring the energy consumption of an electric vehicle would be to use the kilowatt-hour (kWh) unit, determining the number of kWh consumed per 100 km/h.  

Features that influence the fuel consumption of an electric car

The fuel consumption of an electric car will depend on a number of factors, not least the size and power of its battery. The specifics of the electric battery will therefore be a factor to take into account if you wish to acquire an electric vehicle with reasonable energy consumption reasonable.

What's more, the size of the electric car itself is generally an indication of higher or lower energy consumption. In fact, generally speaking, the most compact electric cars
compact will also be the most fuel-efficient, compared to larger models such as electric electric SUVs.

So, logically, an electric electric city car such as the Fiat 500e will require much less energy than an electric SUV such as a Mercedes EQCfor example. If we compare the energy consumption of the two electric cars, we can see that the Fiat 500e will consume 13.2 kWh/100 km from its 23.8 kWh battery, while a Mercedes EQC will consume 22.2 kWh/100 km according to the WLTP standard.

If you're planning to buy an electric car, but have a fairly limited limited budgetthen it may be worthwhile to opt for a relatively compact electric car. Indeed, a smaller electric vehicle will tend to consume lessin addition to representing a investment.

In addition, the energy consumption of an electric car depends on other factors specific to each electric model, as well as on the
nature of the journeys made.

In fact, electric cars tend to consume more energy on the freewayan increase linked in particular to the speed reached by the electric vehicle. So, if the majority of your journeys involve long-distance journeysin this case, you'll tend to use a higher energy consumption consumptionwhich will increase your electricity costs.

Driving style is another factor influencing the energy consumption of electric vehicles.

Indeed, driving slower and adapt your driving style flexible can reduce the energy consumed by the vehicle. It also makes sense to develop aneco-driving which will help you to reduce your energy consumption during your journeys.
