For a typical WV commuter on Appalachian Power
30 miles a day, 5 days a week, plus 4 round trips of 200 miles each way — about 9,100 miles a year — compared with a 25 mpg car at $3.45/gal (EIA's forecast average for WV). Winter range loss included.

Why the winter number is lower: batteries lose range in the cold, and heating the cabin uses energy. We knock about 28% off the EPA figure for a January morning in the mountains. That still leaves 116 miles — about 3 days of a 30-mile commute on one charge.
