  • This is some superfluous american argument, you grew up with MPG, so MPKWH is closer to what you are used to.

    i drive a lot, I don’t ever calculate my remaining range in my head, it’s on the car, and it’s a guesstimate, even for ICE cars, BEVs just more erratic as the change in driving style matters more.

    What I care about is my long term consumption per 100km, then I can easily calculate my consumption over 1000 or 10 000km and then I know the long term running costs of the car.

    The only time I use the km per liter is when I back check the consumption, i.e car says I went 820kms since last refueling then I refill to full and calculate if the average fuel consumption shown to me is accurate.

    Per 100 units are also much more intuitive, lower number means lower consumption, as opposed to higher number meaning lower consumption.

    But as I said, this is at this point mostly a cultural difference, if you told me a car does 5kms for 1 kwh, I would have no idea what that means realistically, if you tell me it consumes 10kwh per 100km, that means I can immediately calculate how much it will cost me to drive 100kms and then 1000, 10000, 100 000, as it is a simple multiplication by 10.
