(Green Car Reports) — The average length of trips done in electric vehicles has been going up, and it may equal internal-combustion vehicle trip lengths within the next 18 months, according to new analysis. It’s an indication more buyers might be directly replacing gasoline models with EVs, and that range anxiety may be waning. Currently across the U.S., the typical daily EV trip length is about 30 miles, while it’s just under 33 miles for gasoline vehicles. Of the metro areas surveyed, many saw increases in average EV trip lengths in 2022 compared to 2021, according to the analysis. Some states also saw decreases in average internal-combustion trip lengths, with Montana, Alaska, Wyoming, North Dakota, and Delaware having the largest gaps, at 4% to 6% shorter than 2021.
