Real life, real answers

Will an EV cover my commute and the school run?

Almost certainly — everyday mixed-distance driving is exactly where EVs are most comfortable, even in winter.

Short, repeated journeys are an EV's easiest job. A commute plus a school run is usually a small fraction of even a degraded car's real range, so you'd typically charge every few days, not daily.

The thing to check isn't whether it can do the miles — it's your charging situation and your winter margin. A driveway makes the daily cost trivial; relying on rapids changes the sums.

On any car page, set your annual mileage and see the mild and winter range against what you actually drive. If you want a description of your week turned into numbers, the advisor (coming soon) will do exactly that using this same model. See methodology.
