This study analyzes the missions of urban household second cars to determine the range specifications for electric vehicles (EVs) to effectively perform these missions. The approach adopted is a detailed analysis of the 1977 National Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS). The data in the NPTS were divided into four categories depending on whether the travel day was a weekday or a weekend and whether or not there were any work trips. Detailed analysis of the four categories indicate that the ranges needed to satisfy at least 25%, 50%, and 75% of urban multicar households are 50, 60, and 75 miles, respectively.
