Electric vehicles (EV) are designed to be as comparable to their traditional gas-powered counterparts as possible. However, in terms of energy usage and efficiencies, most of the standards break down or are challenging to interpret.
This article is part of an ongoing series where I examine EV behavior. Here, after meticulous data collection, I will quantify the capabilities of charging, efficiency, and range in EV mode of my Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHEV) and compare those numbers to the advertised fueleconomy.gov/Monroney sticker values.
