Pareto everywhere

From The EV Transition Explained: Converting Gasoline Superusers  Making chargers ubiquitous is only part of the challenge by Robert N. Charlotte.  I am wary of using data from an advocacy group but I am not surprised to encounter a Pareto distribution of retail gasoline consumption.  The Pareto here is actually somewhat weaker than I would have guessed.

Jonathon and Cory are among the vanguard of a much hoped-for change: the EV-only family.

Their switch to EVs was also providential. After moving to a home much further away from their respective workplaces, each would have become part of the gasoline “superusers” club. Superusers make up the 10 percent of U.S. motorists who, according to a study by the environmental group Coltura , drive 30,000 miles or more a year and use an estimated 32 percent of all gasoline. That gasoline consumption is more than the bottom 60 percent of U.S. drivers combined, Coltura says.

The article is primarily EV propaganda, so reader beware but the issue of Pareto gasoline consumption curves among consumers would of course be real.  I had never particularly thought about the implications with regard to the hoped for transition to EV among Statists.
