Hard to decide answer should be over the life or current (e.g. used RAV4-info for many years, but stopped several years ago). Daily commute distance has changed. Until 2 years ago the RAV4-EV was the weekend car as well, now it's the LEAF. Range is an interesting number, I find that my driving style changes the closer to the perceived bottom. This is particularly more acute with the aging batteries that I have in the RAV4-EV. 14 13 05/22/2013 15:57 2002 United States 02/15/2002 CA Occidental 95465 John and Alek 07/15/2009 111495 111495 mi 100 100 t YES 1 07/10/2009 83380 4 A few times per week 1 Never 1 Daily driver, year-round 2 Daily 20 10 65 t 4 500 Hit in a parking lot and dented quarter panel, which was replaced.

Even at 127k miles, I was able to get 100 miles per charge with careful driving (no AC or heater).
