Personally, I don't like any of the methods of calculating mpge.
Life Cycle Energy Equivalence - Unfairly compared Well to Wheels for EV to Tank to Wheels for ICE.
CO2 Equivalence - Makes an assumption on where I get my electricity and it's CO2 content.
Cost Equivalence - Makes an assumption on how much I pay for electricity.
Direct BTU Equivalence - Gives unrealistic expectations on the range and cost of operation for EVs.
What I need to know is capacity of battery pack in kWh, and "fuel economy" in wh/mi, and I can figure the rest out.
