The amount of range gained per time charging, charging speed, is the ratio of charging power to the vehicle's consumption, and its inverse is the charging time per driven distance: C h a r g i n g s p e e d [ k m / h ] ≡ c h a r g i n g p o w e r [ k W ] c o n s u m p t i o n [ k W h / k m ] {\displaystyle Charging\ speed\ [km/h]\equiv {\frac ...
Best long-range electric cars 2025: Top 10 EVs that go the distance. ... It has the same big, 111 kWh battery as its dual-motor siblings, but makes do with less power (although still an adequate ...
The inverse of power-to-weight, weight-to-power ratio (power loading) is a calculation commonly applied to aircraft, cars, and vehicles in general, to enable the comparison of one vehicle's performance to another. Power-to-weight ratio is equal to thrust per unit mass multiplied by the velocity of any vehicle.
Fastest acceleration of an electric car, 0 to 100 km/h in 1.461 seconds by university students at the University of Stuttgart. [70] Electric Land Speed Record 353 mph (568 km/h). [71] Electric Car Distance Record 1,725 miles (2,776 km) in 24 hours by Bjørn Nyland. [72] Greatest distance by electric vehicle, single charge 999.5 miles (1,608.5 km).

Many elements change how fast the car can accelerate to 60 mph. [ii] [iii] Tires, elevation above sea level, weight of the driver, testing equipment, weather conditions and surface of testing track all influence these times. [3]
This is around 1 ⁄ 5 (20%) of what is needed to power a standard upright bicycle without aerodynamic cladding at same speed, and 1 ⁄ 50 (2%) of that which is consumed by an average fossil fuel or electric car (the velomobile efficiency corresponds to 4700 miles per US gallon, 2000 km/L, or 0.05 L/100 km).

The following table compares official EPA ratings for fuel economy (in miles per gallon gasoline equivalent, mpg-e or MPGe, for plug-in electric vehicles) for series production all-electric passenger vehicles rated by the EPA for model years 2015, [1] 2016, [2] 2017, [3] and 2023 [4] versus the model year 2016 vehicles that were rated the most efficient by the EPA with plug-in hybrid ...
