  • Those units don’t describe the same thing. Not to mention eMPG is arbitrary and not a particularly useful or accurate way to describe much of anything.

    If what you’re looking for is cost to operate, it’s about 3 cents per mile on home charging and about 8.5 cents on DCFC. I tend to average 250 Wh/mi.













  • Pretty much all BEVs are single speed direct drive. You should reserve judgment till you drive one.

    1 pedal driving actually feels more like a manual than an automatic. The regenerative braking feels like engine braking (because it is). I vastly prefer driving a a BEV with 1 pedal driving to a manual transmission in city traffic or on hills - the two of which make up the majority of my driving. I also vastly prefer driving a manual to driving an automatic in the same situations. Automatics legitimately feel unsafe to me by comparison - they WANT to run away from you going down hills and rear end the people in front of you.
