Is it because you actually have to drive 300 miles a week for some reason, or just that you enjoy driving the car so much?

(I'll admit that about 1/3 of the miles on my car right now are "because I enjoy driving it" miles)

I’m actually working out of town during the week right now. And even when I’m home I commute like 60 miles round trip, mostly freeway so blue cruise wins.

I just passed 12k and bought near the beginning of November. All of that and I think I've used DCFC maybe three times? Everything else is at home.

18000 since September, 82% home charging. 20 mile daily commute, but lots of trips, for work, parents, kids, entertainment. Trips all seem to be 3-400 round trip. Many DCFC stops and have not been negatively impacted.

I am an employee of a utility, so this has been a bit of an experiment for uses and how it may impact sales. Interesting to see that my car has used more energy than my house some months. It has done that without impacting our peak times of the day, since all charging is after 10 pm which is our lowest rate tier from our provider. We are rural and relatively low growth for new members, so if we can add EV consumption off peak, it can be about like adding houses.

Thanks for sharing your experience Kenny!

Right there with you. I bought my GT in late September 23 and have 14950 miles on it. Of note this is more than I usually drive when I was working. 3000 mile road trip didn’t help.
