This chart shows the estimated efficiency of all-electric vehicles (EVs) on the road in the United States as of 2020. The Autonomie model was used to estimate the efficiency of EVs with a range between 100 miles and 300 miles, and the relationship between them was assumed to be linear because it is largely a function of battery weight. EV range was obtained primarily from FuelEconomy.gov and a variety of sources for each EV model, and these ranges were weighted by the number of vehicles on the road for each 2020 model (using Experian Information Solutions vehicle registration data). This method produced an average EV range of 240 miles, which corresponds to an efficiency factor of 3.54. This means that the average EV is 3.54 times more efficient than its conventional counterpart.
