The rear-wheel-drive, standard-range Tesla Model 3 compact sedan is the most efficient EV of 2022, with rated energy use of 25 kWh per 100 miles. Its 272 miles of range is the shortest in the Model 3 lineup, but the all-wheel-drive, long-range Model 3 is nearly as efficient; it uses 26 kWh per 100 miles and gets a significant bump in range to 358 miles. It’s also $6,000 more, however.
