U.S. Energy Savings Due to Light-Duty Plug-In Electric Vehicle Use Estimated at 44.8 Trillion Btu in 2019

Due to their efficiency, plug-in electric vehicles reduce the amount of energy used by light-duty vehicles compared to their internal combustion engine counterparts.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy data, estimates show that the energy savings in the United States due to light-duty PEVs in 2019 was 44.8 trillion Btu, up 47% from 2018.

The reduction of energy use by plug-in electric vehicles translates to a savings of 470 million gallons of gasoline in 2019.

Notes: Gasoline conversion to Btu using gross heating value 125,000 Btu/gallon. Electricity conversion to Btu using 3,412 Btu/kWh.
