This chart shows the distribution of trip lengths among all vehicle trips in the U.S. A substantial majority of U.S. vehicle trips are less than six miles long, and only 5% are longer than 30 miles. This can inform EV manufacturers as they determine the required battery size for electric vehicles. See also: Average Vehicle Trip Length by Purpose.
