How much electricity does an electric vehicle consume per 100 kilometers?
1 Answers
Generally, electric vehicles consume 10-15 kWh of electricity per 100 kilometers. Below is relevant information about electric vehicles: 1. Advantages: They do not emit harmful gases that pollute the atmosphere. Even when converting the electricity consumption to emissions from power plants, pollutants other than sulfur and particulates are significantly reduced. Since power plants are mostly located far from densely populated cities, the harm to humans is minimized. Electricity can be generated from various primary energy sources, such as coal, nuclear power, and hydro power, alleviating concerns about the depletion of petroleum resources. Electric vehicles can also take advantage of surplus electricity during off-peak hours at night for charging, allowing power generation equipment to be fully utilized around the clock, greatly improving economic efficiency. 2. Characteristics: Simple structure and easy maintenance. Electric vehicles have a simpler structure compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, with fewer moving and transmission parts, resulting in less maintenance work. However, they have higher power costs and shorter driving ranges.
