Estimated electricity consumption

While we have worked on proposals for average consumption, the ideal situation, given the impact of this data, is for users to enter their own actual consumption, averaged over their usage.

The calculation of average consumption is based on the ADEME Car Labelling database. We have used the raw data directly via a script that extracts the average fuel consumption for each size and engine based on this mapping:

• Body = COMBISPACE: "LCV"
• Weight < 1400kg : "petite"
• Poids 1400-1600kg: "moyenne"
• Poids > 1600kg and Luxury or Superior range: "SUV"
• Weight > 1600kg, other ranges: "Saloon"

hybrid (HR) in kWh/100km (effective) | Vehicle category | Hybrid (HR) in kWh/100km (effective) |

| --- | --- |

| Citadine** | / |

| Compact / "average " | 14.2 (22) |

| VUL | / |

| Sedan** (station wagon) | 17 (49) |

| Large saloon** | 20.4 (100) |

An approximation is undoubtedly made here on the choice of body sizes, given that the weight of hybrid vehicles is higher than that of internal combustion vehicles, which may have an impact on the fuel consumption / body size ratio.

This consumption is a "manufacturer" consumption. In conjunction with ADEME's Transport Department, it has been decided to correct these figures using a factor that approximates actual fuel consumption on the basis of the manufacturer's type-approval fuel consumption. It was decided to retain the 20% figure, even though electric vehicles are quite sensitive to outside temperature (heating is not "free" in terms of energy, as it is with an internal combustion engine, from which waste heat is recovered to heat the passenger compartment).

As Labelling does not offer data for LCV hybrids, we have chosen to apply the LCV data for this model.

However, there is another limitation: this database gathers data from recent vehicles, which are not necessarily representative of vehicles on the road.
