What is the average range of an EV?
The average range of an EV is 226 miles.* And the average motorist typically covers less than 63 miles in 2.5 car trips per day.**
So most of the time you needn’t worry about range while going about your day.
*Disclaimer: Based on National Travel Survey, Table NTS0307, in the UK, 95% of the daily commutes are less than 63 miles in 2.5 car trips per day. With the average range of a BEV at 226 miles (as per EV Volumes weighted average 2016 – 2022 for EU including UK), today’s EVs are already able to cover those daily distances using clean miles only, even when there’s no opportunity to charge during the day.
**Please refer to your local market information for specific statistics on average EV range.
