> In 2022, the average BEV drove 12,950 kilometers (km), surpassing for the first time the average distance of 12,000 km for diesel passenger vehicles. Overall, average passenger vehicle travel has steadily declined in Norway, from about 13,800 km in 2007 to 11,100 km in 2022.
> Average BEV distance gradually increased from around 11,800 km in 2015 to 12,950 km. EV penetration in Norway is slightly skewed towards customers and counties with above-average annual driving requirements, and charging infrastructure and vehicle range are no longer limiting factors.
Which makes sense, the ideal case for EV is someone who drives a lot every day, since you save compared with ICE for every mile driven.
One early Tesla success story was a rural postal delivery man who managed to pay for the then very expensive Model S with the mileage payments he received that assumed he was burning fuel.
Note that this graph could be used to support the exact same conclusion as the current article, between 2016 and 2022 EVs drove less miles than ICE. There's a very clear trend though.
And the data for the current story is from second hand sales. Which adds probably upwards of 3 years lag to the data.
