    95% of trips are 30 miles or less. Of course everyone is the exception, we’re all above average drivers here.

      A car is too big of an investment to fail to take you from point A to B 1 in every 20 trips.

      That’s a terrible statistic…of course most of my travel happens around where I live.

      If anything…that actually reveals long trips are more common than you think…For every 19 times you go to work or the store the 20th trip is significant…

      In other words, if your number I right…Once to Twice a month the average person would likely require an extended range EV.

        The number of people breaking through 150 miles in a single trip is significantly lower than 95%. 150 mile range is plenty for them.

        I’ve driven more than 150 miles once in the last three years

      I guess I’m in the 5 percent? But still small cars can take long trips. That’s a frustrating thing, people assuming you need a modern day Conestoga wagon to do a road trip.
