In 2013, the rating MPGe starting appearing in the EPA Fuel Economy Estimates block on BEV and PHEV window stickers. We know it means Miles Per Gallon gasoline equivalent and was to be a comparison tool for consumers comparing EVs to ICE, but how is this value calculated and what can it tell us?

I used the Monroney sticker (that what it’s called) from my co-op’s 2017 Chevy Volt and East Kentucky Power Cooperatives 2017 Chevy Bolt to do some basic calculations and get to the bottom line of cost/mile.

Here is the Monroney sticker for the Volt.

Here is the sticker for the Bolt.
