Interesting compilation of INL/AVTA's work collecting data on electric miles driven.

Analysis of Annual Electric Vehicle Miles Traveled (eVMT) in the United States...

Battery Electric Vehicles – Annual Miles Driven on Electricity

To estimate annual non-gasoline miles driven by battery electric vehicles (BEVs) the weighted average of 6,877 Nissan Leafs, Ford Focus Electrics and Honda Fit Electrics

...this data represents a sample of 43.5 million miles of on-road data for BEVs that never use gasoline.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles - Annual Miles Driven on Electricity
To estimate annual eVMT by plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) the weighted average of 14,750 Chevrolet Volts, Ford C-Max Energi, Honda Accord, and Toyota Prius PHEVs (Figure 1), must be calculated only using eVMT.

...data represents a sample of 40.5 million miles of on-road data...
LEAF has highest average with 9,697 MPY, with the Fit and Focus close behind.

PHEV distribution is interesting (Volt miles ~74% from the grid, and PIP ~16%) and suggests that even (most) PIP drivers are plugging them in regularly.
