Electric vehicles: How much range is required for a day’s driving?

► Nine percent of vehicles never exceed 100 miles driving in one day. ► Travel adaptation 2 days/year makes 100 mile EVs substitutable for 17% of drivers. ► Correlation of vehicle frequency of use to distance travelled when used is weak. ► In the worst 1-h span of rush-hour,
