I have to argue the number of beyond 100% BEV range trips one makes annually is more relevant to what to drive than actual trip miles. Here's why. We have a 2016 Nissan Leaf with the 30 kWh battery. The Leaf is our only car. It handles all of our daily driving flawlessly. MAYBE half-a-dozen times a year we need to travel about 200 miles for family gatherings. Because the infrastructure exists, we plan ahead and use the Leaf. No big deal. Maybe 3 or 4 times more a year we need to travel as much as 500 miles for business or family obligations. For those trips we rent a ICE car. We save so much money on gas and maintenance that we can easily afford to rent for such trips. Also, with a little planning it's pretty cheap. Now, anything beyond 600 miles, we fly. I'm older and just can't take bouncing down the road for more than about 10 hours max. This system works well for us and even though we rarely buy gas, there is zero ICE maintenance. Now, if we were making 200 - 500 or 600 mile trips on a regular basis currently, a PHEV would make more sense. Unless we could afford a Tesla Model X. I figure eventually all other auto makers' EV range and the associated infrastructure will catch up.
The thing I run across often is people tell me they NEED a hybrid because they have to go 400 or 500 miles a few times a year. Personally, I'm ruined driving an ICE. I HATE it. I'm always thrilled to turn in the rental.
