Trip distance log

I have started logging the distance taken for each car trip I take. If I were to consider buying a PHEV or EV, I would want to compare its range with my typical driving habits. Here is my first week of data. WARNING: Yes, I have a lot of short trips. I call anything over 4 miles a long trip.

All distances in miles. A (*) means that I was at home and could have charged a battery during that interval.

It looks like I can stay within the EV range of the Prius PHV most of the time (if someone would only buy me one ) only charging once a day. If I had other opportunities to charge, maybe all the time. Given a longer range PHEV, I could easily get 100% of my in-town driving on electric.
