50-60 miles these days. Used to get 100 when it was new, if one didn't have a leadened foot. IOW, yeah, it's a city car at this point. Redmond->Seattle and back is about the limit these days.


sort by: page size:

I can’t remember from our previous car, but the current one is nearly at 290000km (~180000 miles) since 2007.

Those cars have a range between 58 miles and 125.

approx 11300miles for me, for last 4 years and loving it

You only get 620 miles if you drive it like a Yugo. ;)

Otherwise, if you do lots of hard starts and stops, you'll probably get about 400ish.


it would take nearly a decade of round-the-clock testing to reach just 2 million miles in typical urban conditions.

...if you only use one car.


Prius Prime.

Not 100 miles, but enough to do quite well for daily errands.


Not sure where you live, but at least 50% of the time I am driving my car I am probably putting over 100 miles on it per trip. My weekly trip for groceries might be the only one where I am driving a shorter range.

Those are rookie numbers. I used to drive 100km for dinner sometimes or to visit friends on a Saturday afternoon. This is in a major US metro.

That is horrible mileage. I remember averaging that on a 1997 Opel Astra.

My wife car rarely does more than 30 miles in a day. I don't think we have ever driven it 400 miles in a day.

Yeah for some reason five years ago it was significantly lower than today, it's gone up to around 850 miles now. Not that I can tell you precisely why, but that's what the stats say.

Now in six US cities: https://www.car2go.com/

My 8.5 year old car has 31,000 miles on it. I haven't had a job since 2007 where I have to drive to work. My daily commute now is a 1.5 mile round trip walk. I hate traffic and don't understand other Americans who are fine with driving long distances on a daily basis.


Waymo has tested in 25 cities, they aren't currently in 25 cities. Of the 600 Pacifica's they have, only ~160 are deployed. So to do 25,000 miles per day, that's an average of 156 miles per vehicle.

165 000 miles is 266 000 km, for the readers who might wonder.

My car is at 350 000 km now, and I'm not planning on selling it anytime soon. It doesn't have any special problem, except for a malfunctioning electric window lifter on one side. It's only one data point of course.


Number of times I've taken my car over 200 miles in a single day in the last decade: 3.

What range problems?


Typical miles driven by a car...

Two car household here --

46mo/old Prius - about 52k miles 37mo/old Jetta TDI - about 54k miles

Since we are both solo-commuters, this is fairly typical for the bay area. Probably in the realm measured, but ... a 50k lifetime is a bit of a joke.


100,000 km is 62000 miles. My bosses Prius had 120,000 miles, so 193,000 km.

You want crying my old E150 cargo van eats a set of pads every 15-20,000 miles.


They said it has been used for over 50 million miles so far, and that there are over 100k minutes of driving being done with it per day.

I agree, the numbers tend to go towards 10L/100km for these cars, based on typical driving habits.
