Reply to comment by Em_Adespoton in ELI5: Why do electric vehicles need a MPG measurement? I by WannaBelTGuy

Okay, so it’s essentially how much the battery is used over that distance? Like how many miles would be used per gallon.

Yup.

In most of the world, fuel consumption is litres per kilometre, which maps to battery consumption in a more logical way. The MPG rating is often just the l/km rating converted.
