The midget gets close, if not equal to 5 miles for every Kwh put into it. So it took 900 Kwh to drive my 4500 miles. I still had 504 Kwh left after charging my car and running my house. So I could have driven another 2500 miles this year. I was used to having an extra 750 Kwh left in a year before I had my car. This summer I changed my air conditioning to kick on at 80 deg F instead of 78 degress, and we cut down on Christmas lights. (We had a lot of Christmas lights in the past.) I wanted to be net zero on electricity use this year, and I got it. My family is not thrilled since I try to reduce electricity use as much as possible. This does show how good a choice it is to convert a MG Midget to electric. I have thought over the last 10 years, that as tiny a car it is, it should be perfect for conversion. Obviously I'm very happy how it turned out.
