When comparing the energy density of gasoline to electric propulsion, the numbers for Electrathon vehicles are staggering:

• Gasoline Energy Baseline: 1 US gallon of gasoline contains approximately 36.6 kWh of energy.

• Vehicle Power Draw: An Electrathon vehicle drawing 40 amps at 24 volts for one hour uses:

  

• Energy Consumption: This equates to 0.960 kWh.

• Fuel Equivalent: That consumption represents only 0.0262 gallons of gasoline.

The Result #

This calculation yields an efficiency rating of over 2,370 MPG.
