The Argonne model relied on in the article you linked is quite dated at this point and has its limitations (which are acknowledged by the authors of it themselves).
- blacksmith_tb 3y agoI see, so that 28K number looks solid, the 68K upper bound applies to a scenario where someone doesn't switch to an EV but buys one and still keeps driving an ICE vehicle too, which seems odd - I would think many drivers could use an EV for all their shorter trips (certainly shopping, likely commuting), but paying to register/license an extra car just for the occasional long trip doesn't seem very practical.
- culi 3y agoThat's a fair take. As stated in the study that scenario is based around actual documented EV usage behavior amongst owners PS, cheers for actually reading the paper
