Here's a good place to go to find mileage:

We actually ran the charger for about a week to come up with the design, based on their mileage ,etc. This also accounted for battery and inverter losses. We added about a 3400 w array (off grid) and they drove about 40 miles round trip/ day. We went with the 120 vac slower charger to keep a slower and more efficient discharge rate of the main system battery. I believe that charging at slower rates is almost always going to be more efficient due to Puekert's exponent.
