Development stagnates
Electric cars are no longer becoming more economical
Electric cars may have a shorter range, but they are much more efficient than combustion engines. However, relatively little has changed in terms of their absolute consumption over the years.
The average consumption of newly registered electric cars has stagnated. Last year, the median value was 16.84 kWh per kilometer and thus at the same level as in 2023, as the German federal government reported at the request of Parliament.
The last major decline to date was from 2020 (17.17 kWh/100 km) to 2021 (16.82 kWh/100 km). In each case, the consumption stated by the manufacturer was taken into account.
Overall, electric cars are significantly more efficient than combustion engines. The energy requirement of 16.84 kWh corresponds to a consumption of 1.72 liters of diesel or 1.89 liters of petrol.
The actual average consumption of a diesel is 6 to 7 liters due to the poor efficiency of the combustion engine, while that of a petrol engine is 7 to 8 liters.
