Why do electric vehicles need a MPG measurement? I

325 views

Context: I sell cars and currently have a Nissan Leaf. A customer had asked if I knew why it had 121city/91highway MPG listed if it was a fully electric vehicle. This confused me too and it’s apparently a common thing? Thanks.

It’s an equivalence thing so you can compare the efficiency of ICE, BEV and PHEV vehicles.

They just compare energy consumption and convert it to if that energy was from gasoline.
