What is the power consumption per 100 kilometers for new energy vehicles?

[TaliaAnn]

New energy vehicles consume 10-15 kWh per 100 kilometers. Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) refer to vehicles that use on-board power sources as their driving force, with electric motors driving the wheels, meeting all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Their components include: electric drive and control systems, mechanical systems for driving force transmission, and working devices to accomplish set tasks. Below are the benefits of new energy vehicles: Fuel energy conservation: New energy vehicles generally use natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, hydrogen, or electricity as power sources, saving fuel energy. Reduced exhaust emissions: New energy vehicles produce no exhaust emissions, effectively protecting the environment. Electric vehicles generate no tailpipe emissions and cause no pollution. Hydrogen-powered vehicles emit only water, posing no environmental pollution. Due to their near-zero emissions, they are also exempt from traffic restrictions. High efficiency: New energy vehicles typically employ new technologies and structures, making them more efficient.

Over the years of driving new energy vehicles, I've been closely monitoring the electricity consumption per 100 kilometers, which typically ranges between 10 to 20 kWh. The exact figure depends on the vehicle size and driving habits—compact electric vehicles like micro cars may consume as low as 10 kWh, mid-sized sedans such as the BYD Han EV around 12-15 kWh, and larger SUVs like the Li ONE might reach 18-20 kWh. In cold weather, electricity consumption tends to be higher due to increased battery heating needs; driving at high speeds also raises consumption because of greater wind resistance. I've tracked data using an app and found that gentle driving in urban areas, with fewer sudden accelerations and brakes, helps control electricity usage. Long-term use has shown me that charging costs are low—with household electricity priced at just a few cents per kWh, the cost per 100 kilometers is only about ten yuan, significantly cheaper than gasoline cars, plus it reduces emissions. When buying a car, I recommend test-driving several models to compare their real-world performance.

As a family using an electric car for daily commuting, we've been driving a pure electric vehicle for a year now, with an average electricity consumption of around 13 to 16 kWh per 100 kilometers. We drive a compact car like the XPeng P5, mostly for taking kids to school in urban areas, where the electricity consumption stays stable at 15 kWh. Our actual experience shows that regenerative braking during low-speed driving actually saves electricity, but using air conditioning or heating increases consumption by about 20%. I've calculated that charging at home costs just over ten yuan per charge for a range of more than 300 kilometers, which is much more economical than gasoline. I recommend not worrying too much about high electricity consumption; the standard range version is sufficient, and weekend trips won't be a concern. A mileage tracking app has helped optimize charging times to avoid peak electricity rates, saving even more money.

Friends who drive electric vehicles know that the electricity consumption per 100 kilometers varies greatly depending on performance—ordinary models consume around 10-15 kWh, while high-performance cars like Tesla can exceed 20 kWh. Having driven different brands, I've found that small electric vehicles for commuting consume about 12 kWh, which is economical in urban areas. However, aggressive acceleration and high-speed driving can cause electricity consumption to soar, especially in sport mode. Temperature changes also have a significant impact, with air conditioning in summer increasing consumption noticeably. It's advisable not to rely solely on paper data; test-driving under various road conditions for practical measurements is more reliable. Lower electricity consumption means quieter and more eco-friendly driving.
