EC40 MPGe Questions
Which EC40 is the most efficient?
The 2024 C40 Recharge has the top EPA rating at 107 MPGe combined (118 city, 96 highway). Among 2026 models, the EC40 is rated at 106 MPGe combined.
What's the range of the 2026 EC40?
The most efficient 2026 EC40 is rated at 106 MPGe combined, which works out to 31.7 kWh per 100 miles. Its EPA range is 298 miles. Range across 2026 versions runs from 268 to 298 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 106 MPGe means the 2026 EC40 covers 106 miles on 33.7 kWh. kWh per 100 miles is the easier number for working out charging costs.
Why doesn't my EC40 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 EC40 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 8 ratings for the EC40 from 2022 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. When the EPA posts an updated file with new model years or corrected ratings, this page is rebuilt from it. 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.
