Drivers in the Birmingham-Hoover metro area rank second nationally in per capita miles driven daily and daily travel minutes, making Magic City motorists prime beneficiaries for transitioning to electric vehicles, according to a recent report.
The Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition (ACFC) points to a new analysis from Replica to suggest that given the high number of miles traveled, Birmingham motorists could see big fuel savings with the transition to EVs.
Replica is a mobility analytics firm that studied private, weekday car trips made by adults in the nation’s 50 largest metro areas from fall 2023. That study found Birmingham motorists drive an average of 36.1 miles per day, about 20% more than the national average, and spend more than two hours in their vehicle each day.
