Range anxiety is basically a myth or at least a real anxiety masquerading as range anxiety. Who hasn't been out on the boonies somewhere late at night running out of gas and wondering if you were going to make it to a gas station ... the real anxiety is refuel anxiety. As soon as universal fast electric charging stations are ubiquitous this "range anxiety" will suddenly disappear. Most ICE cars only have around a 300-400 mile range tops (unless maybe the hybrids) and that is never talked about. It's not range that is the problem.
Heck 95% of my driving would be more than ok with 50 mile range if I could charge at work and it only took a few minutes to charge. An ultra capacitor car would likely fit this bill.
Well dang ... unpopular opinion I guess.
But I stand by what I said. I just want an EV thats cheap with fast & ubiquitous charging. Give me those 3 things and even with crappy range and I'd dump my ICE car like yesterday.
