Input

Vehicle Efficiency is the energy efficiency of the electric vehicle in terms of energy usage from the battery and distance travelled. Efficiency is defined as:

Efficiency = Energy Consumed / Distance Travelled

In the metric system this is measured in watt-hours per kilometre (Wh/km) and Imperial US it is measured in watt-hours per mile (Wh/m).

This efficiency relates to the vehicle and battery system only and does not factor in charging efficiency.

Output

As output Efficiency reports the energy consumed per unit of distance travelled.
