What is regularly? We probably take 2 road trips of 3500km a year, probably 4 trips of 1000km a year, and probably 10 trips of 350km a year. In the Western US things are very spread out. We live in a city of nearly 3 million people, but the next three closest cities of comparable or larger size are 300km, 700km, and 1000 km away. And if your wondering why we don't fly, it's because we have 7 children so it's cheaper to drive.



> What is regularly?

That's really the relevant point here: at what point do the savings of an electric car make it such that renting another car for the longer trips still ends up with that coming out on top?

There's definitely a long tail of people who drive further regularly for whom electric cars won't be so practical.
