      1 Kw per mph sounds pretty bad. I would’ve thought electric cars are more efficient than that.

        Also one is a force while the other is a speed. You’d need a lot of assumptions to go from one number to another single number.

      Googling a rough average returned 0.346 kwh/mile for electric cars between 2000 and 2022 (wide range, im aware). Traveling at 50MPH, you go 50 miles in 1 hour (assume you’re already going 50, and stay at that speed). So you’d use [0.346KWh/mile] *[50 miles/hour] = [17.3 KW] per hour @ 50 MPH
