What domain is this, is it related to transport?
If so, it feels a bit too domain specific for UnitsNet maybe.
Can you help me understand the domain and usecases better?
Here are some criteria we have to consider before adding new units:

Hello,
it's like the FuelEfficiency Quantity but related to electric powered vehicles. This domain is getting more and more important these days.

Right, it is getting kind of mainstream so maybe it makes sense to add something here.
However, maybe we just need to name it something else.
EnergyEfficiency means?
Googling energy efficiency units returns a lot of different things, from energy generators, heating/cooling, and more. Not much about EV efficiency in the first few results.
Rename EnergyEfficiency to...?
It seems there is no well defined name for this, but electric vehicle converters do pop up for these units.

I propose ElectricVehicleEfficiency, since there does not seem to be a well defined, generic physical quantity with units like kWH/km. They are all domain specific; heating/cooling, energy generators, etc.
Maybe also add kWh/100km unit?
Most common in Europe is the specification kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers (kWh/100km).

Summary of proposed changes to PR
- Rename quantity to
ElectricVehicleEfficiency - Add unit
WattHourPer100Kilometerwith prefix Kilo

add unit for energy consumption from electric cars.
