How much home backup does an EV give you?

An average home uses roughly 16 kWh a day, so a 60 kWh EV battery could, in theory, run it for several days. In practice you'll set a minimum charge to keep for driving.

The table's "Days of home backup" column divides each car's usable battery by 16 kWh a day.
