337.4kWh

That's 4.5× as much energy as a 75 kWh EV battery, while a 50 L tank of petrol is 1.32× more. In an electric car that would cover about 1,875 km (1,165 mi).

What it means

How much energy is that?

Lower heating values from the US DOE Alternative Fuels Data Center. Blends vary by a few percent; an engine turns only 20–40 % of it into motion.

The math

How to convert L to kWh

kWh = gallons × energy per gallon: petrol 33.7, diesel 37.7, biodiesel 35.0, ethanol 22.4, propane 24.7 kWh/gal.

Example: 37.9 L = 337.44 kWh.
