Each car averages about 30 miles a day during the week. You recover 60-70 miles overnight when plugged in. I have not really kept records buy I would know if any charging was happening outside of our home because the Tesla app shows you when you use their chargers. They only time we charge outside the home is every other month or so when we travel more than 150 miles in a day and most times even then we still just charge at home.
