Model S MPGe Questions
Which Model S is the most efficient?
The 2025 and 2026 Model S has the top EPA rating at 124 MPGe combined (132 city, 116 highway).
What's the range of the 2026 Model S?
The most efficient 2026 Model S is rated at 124 MPGe combined, which works out to 27.1 kWh per 100 miles. Its EPA range is 410 miles. Range across 2026 versions runs from 309 to 410 miles.
What does MPGe mean?
MPGe stands for miles per gallon equivalent. The EPA counts 33.7 kWh of electricity as one gallon of gasoline, so a rating of 124 MPGe means the 2026 Model S covers 124 miles on 33.7 kWh. kWh per 100 miles is the easier number for working out charging costs.
Why doesn't my Model S match the EPA numbers?
EPA ratings come from standardized tests so every EV is measured the same way. Cold weather, heater and AC use, highway speed, tire pressure and cargo all change how far a Model S goes on a charge. The ratings are best for comparing one model against another.

Where These Numbers Come From
Cedrick Reese built this page from the EPA fuel economy file published on fueleconomy.gov. It has 69 ratings for the Model S from 2012 to 2026, and every one of them is shown in the table. Each row in the table links to the matching EPA vehicle record, so you can check any figure against the source. Electric versions are rated in MPGe, the EPA's miles-per-gallon equivalent, and the table also shows their official range. The page is rebuilt whenever the EPA publishes an updated file, which picks up new model years and any rating corrections. The cost calculator uses your electricity rate you enter rather than a national average, so the result fits where you live.
Ratings on this page come from the EPA file downloaded on October 1, 2026.
