A new study from Recurrent once again indicates that EV range anxiety isn't much of a reality for actual EV owners.

    It’s dropped enough that I generally keep that car at 70% charge. I’ll up it before going on a longer trip, but that’s rare.

    And at worst, if I had to make a longer trip with no notice (odd), it’s just an opportunity to use an actual level 3 charger, of which there are plenty.

    No, I don’t have anxiety about maybe needing to spend 15 minutes at a gas station, maybe, six months from now.

    I am, however, happy that I haven’t been to a gas station at all in six months.

    Only time I had any kind of range anxiety was going on vacation to a place with very few and very slow EV chargers (rural Poland). Even that worked out perfectly fine.

    Or… they self select into people who don’t buy a car because charging is terrible in their town or apartment, and those whose situation has changed.
