Re: How many miles does an EV go per KwH ?



My Jet Industries ElectraVan 600 and Electrified VW Bug both get about
4 miles per kwh and Solectria's Sunrise gets nearly 10 miles per kwh at
around 35 mph.
Other well designed ev conversions are known to get above 6 miles per kwh
during previous American Tour de Sols.
