Electric cars are very efficient when compared to ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) cars. Nevertheless, the efficiency and range varies a lot from EV to EV.
To help you choose which electric car is more suitable for you, I made the table below with EPA efficiency and range figures – for different driving scenarios (city, highway and mixed/combined).

Remember that EPA figures measure plug-to-wheels consumption, this means that the on-board charger efficiency matters.
