The primary difference between EVs vs. gas-powered vehicles lies in the fuel source. EVs run entirely on electric power stored in batteries, rechargeable at a charging station or home. In contrast, traditional gas vehicles rely on internal combustion engines using gasoline as fuel.

The mpg, or miles per gallon, measures the distance a gas-powered car can travel on a gallon of gas. Meanwhile, the MPGe -- the miles per gallon equivalent -- evaluates the distance an EV can travel before using the same amount of energy contained in a gallon of gas. This means that an electrified car rated at 100 MPGe can travel 100 miles before it has consumed a level of energy equivalent to one gallon of gas.

In summary, MPGe provides a basis of comparison between EVs vs. gas vehicles for energy efficiency.

Range anxiety is the concern for an EV's limited travel distance before running out of charge, a common worry among potential buyers. However, we have electric cars for sale at Juneau Auto Mall that come with substantial range capabilities, ensuring you reach your destination without mid-journey charging hassles.

Depending on your priorities, electric cars can provide a multitude of benefits. Not only are they sustainable for the environment, but they also provide you with savings on auto maintenance costs. Plus, 100% electric vehicles allow you to ditch gasoline for good -- an expense we’d all love to kick.
