Database / Methodology
Every range, efficiency, and fuel-economy figure on this site comes from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's official vehicle dataset (fueleconomy.gov, vehicles.csv), downloaded October 2026. It covers model years 2025–2027. We group EPA test records into model families — one page per make/model/powertrain — and show every rated trim, because trims with different wheels, tires, or motors get different EPA numbers.
MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) is the EPA's metric: 33.7 kWh of electricity holds the same energy as a gallon of gasoline. Where the EPA publishes energy consumption (kWh/100 mi) without an MPGe figure, we compute MPGe as 3370 ÷ kWh/100 mi and round to the EPA's convention. "Dollars per mile of range" is simply verified starting MSRP divided by best-trim EPA range. Nothing else is derived — if the EPA didn't test it, we don't show it.
Starting MSRP figures are researched by hand from manufacturer and established automotive sources. We publish a price only when we can verify it; a handful of models show no price rather than a guess. Prices are before destination charges and before any tax credits or incentives.
Vehicle photos come from Wikimedia Commons and are credited on each page under their Creative Commons licenses. If a photo shows the wrong generation, tell us and we'll fix it.
No invented specs, no estimated prices presented as fact, no AI-written reviews, no sponsored rankings. Rankings are pure sorts of the underlying data. Real-world range differs from EPA lab figures with speed, weather, and driving style — we say so on every vehicle page.
The EPA dataset is refreshed as new model years are rated. This snapshot: October 2026, model years 2025–2027.
