So, because we acquires our #EV through a low-mileage lease, I had been planning to keep the miles well under the limit by driving my (nearly 25yo) car more-frequently. Like, say, to run twenty weekends' worth of grocery-errands (at forty-ish miles per Saturday, that'd relieve +800mi worth of mileage from the leased vehicle). Because gas for my car went from $3.23 to $4.69 (according to today's #GasBuddy report), I opted to cut things a little finer. Instead, I look at the car's mileage on any given day, then use https://days.to to calculate the number of days since we'd picked the car up from the dealership and divide the number on the odometer by it. As long as we average under 20.5mi/day, we're golden.
I had been targeting about 15mi/day for the first year, "just to give us some 'slack'." And, in actuality, we'd been running under 14/dy before our last visit to my mom's (130mi each way). Still under 16mi/day, right now. But probably less under than I'd initially expected due to having opted to use the EV a bit more than the pre gas-price surge had me initially planning.
Regardless, we're still good. We have more options than a lot of people do (especially since I'm work-from-home).
