When comparing how many miles people drive gasoline, hybrid and electric vehicles, 3-year-old gas cars are driven 12,813 miles a year while EVs are driven 20 percent less, or 10,256 miles.
Plug-in hybrids are driven 12,199 miles, or 4.8 percent less than gasoline cars, while standard hybrids are driven 12,471 miles, or 2.7 percent less than gasoline models.
“Range anxiety and charging infrastructure are top-of-mind for EV drivers, and those factors likely limit how far owners will drive them,” said Karl Brauer, iSeeCars Executive Analyst.
“Hybrids and plug-in hybrids, where all-electric battery range is limited but range anxiety isn’t a factor, are driven only slightly less than gasoline cars, as reflected in their similar yearly mileage.”
Teslas are driven more than any other electric vehicle.
The Model 3, X, and Y all cover more than 11,000 miles a year, which is above the EV average of 10,256 annual miles.
The Model S averages only 8,293 miles a year, or 19 percent less than the average EV, making it one of the most expensive electric cars to operate on a per-miles basis.
