On-road passenger trips over 75 miles one-way only accounted for 1.4% of all trips in 2022. The remaining 98.6% of trips were less than 75 miles. Almost three quarters (73.1%) of all trips were 10 miles or less, which can be comfortably handled by modern EVs on a single charge using a basic home outlet, without needing advanced charging equipment, even if a return trip of the same distance were taken.
Note: Passenger trips are one-way. NextGen NHTS includes an origin-destination (OD) data program that produces multimodal passenger and truck travel OD tables at national and local levels from passively collected location data sources.
