According to the most recent National Travel Survey and Department for Transport data for 2024 and 2025, the average annual mileage for a car in the UK is approximately 6,000 to 7,000 miles. When broken down into a daily average, this equates to roughly 18 to 20 miles per day. However, this figure is a mathematical average that accounts for both long-distance commuters and local drivers; in reality, many UK drivers cover much shorter distances for daily errands and school runs. Interestingly, as of 2025, the average range of a new electric vehicle (EV) in the UK is nearly 300 miles, which means the typical driver only needs to charge their car once every two weeks to meet their daily driving needs. While "range anxiety" is a common concern, the data consistently shows that the vast majority of UK car journeys are well within the capacity of modern batteries, with shopping and commuting remaining the most frequent reasons for travel.
