Understanding Le/100 km: What It Means for EVs and PHEVs
When comparing fuel efficiency across hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and fully electric vehicles, you might notice that electric models are rated using Le/100 km instead of the traditional L/100 km. This unit, known as litres equivalent per 100 kilometers (Le/100 km), provides a standardized way to compare energy consumption between gasoline-powered and electric vehicles.
How Le/100 km Works
Le/100 km represents how much electrical energy an EV or PHEV consumes, expressed in a gasoline-equivalent format. Since electricity is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) rather than litres, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) converts the energy used by an EV into an equivalent amount of gasoline energy. The standard assumes 8.9 kWh of electricity is equivalent to 1 litre of gasoline.
Why It Matters
Le/100 km allows drivers to compare energy efficiency across different powertrains more accurately. For example, a fully electric vehicle like the 2025 Mustang Mach-E Extended Range, rated at 2.1Le/100 km, uses much less energy than even the most fuel-efficient hybrid models. Meanwhile, plug-in hybrids like the 2025 Ford Escape PHEV offer dual ratings—one for electric driving (2.3Le/100 km) and another for when the gasoline engine is in use (5.9L/100 km).
By using Le/100 km, Ontario drivers can better assess the long-term cost savings and environmental benefits of choosing an EV or PHEV over traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.
Conclusion
Ford’s 2025 lineup includes a variety of fuel-efficient models, from hybrids to all-electric options. Whether looking for a practical hybrid SUV, a fuel-conscious pickup, or an EV that eliminates gas use altogether, Ontario drivers have multiple choices that balance efficiency with performance and utility.
