information display, are calculation results estimated by 3 differ-
ent calculation methods. For driving in comfort, it will be very
helpful to check the possible driving range for highways before

The chart shown above is for explaining the energy consumption differ-
ence between electric vehicles and gasoline engine vehicles.
Gasoline engine vehicles achieve the best fuel efficiency while they are
driven at a speed of approximately 43 mph (70 km/h). However, electric
vehicles obtain the best energy efficiency while being driven at speeds
between approximately 12 to 25 mph (20 to 40 km/h).
