Electric car EPA fuel economy

The following table compares official EPA ratings for fuel economy (miles per gallon gasoline equivalent, mpg-e, for plug-in electric vehicles) for series production all-electric passenger vehicles rated by the EPA as of November 2016, versus EPA rated most fuel economic plug-in hybrid with long distance range (Chevrolet Volt – second generation), gasoline-electric hybrid car (Toyota Prius Eco - fourth generation), and EPA's average new 2016 vehicle, which has a fuel economy of 25 mpg‑US (9.4 L/100 km; 30 mpg‑imp). Manufacturers test their own vehicles—usually pre-production prototypes—and report the results to EPA. EPA reviews the results and confirms about 15%–20% of them through their own tests at the National Vehicles and Fuel Emissions Laboratory.
