It will be interesting to see how this plays out. A family member of mine is a regional sales manager and usually puts more than 100k miles on his car each year. A million miles in 8 years wouldn't be impossible for him, but so far no car has lasted that long.
- JonoBB 12y agoThat's about ~273 miles per day on average. If we take out weekends, then we get an average of ~383 miles. For someone to do that every day for 8 years and still do sales work would be some kind of endurance feat.
- vikramhaer 12y agoEven more, I think! Days in a year: ~365 x 8 = 2,920; 1,000,000 / 2,920 = 342.5 miles per day W/o weekends: ~260 x 8 = 2,080; 1,000,000 / 2,080 = 480.8 miles per day That's more than 5 hours of driving, every. single. day. Unlikely.
- willthames 12y agoSo 2080 is number of hours per working year (assuming zero annual leave and public holidays) I think you should have just calculated 100000/260 to get miles per day, not 10^6/2080. Your 480.8 miles per day should be 48.1 miles per hour. Still doesn't change the huge amount of driving needed to do 100k miles in a year!
- dzhiurgis 12y agoHow about charging it? Considering the lack of network and somewhat long charge time, the theoretical maximum is probably very well defined.
- cpwright 12y agoWell if you assume one charge per day (say in your garage over night), you get 265 miles/day * (365 days * 8 years + 2 leap days) = 774,330 miles total.
