Maybe in the extreme cold in winter. Range anxiety fades a lot after time.

I used to but not anymore.

Congratulations, you have irrational range anxiety.

As long as I have at least 40%, I can basically go anywhere I need to in my area, so it’s of no concern if I leave home with 50% battery or higher. I use about 30% per day and charge daily to 80%.

I got used to having 48 miles of range in a PHEV so I realized that in daily life range isn’t a thing to worry about.

Less so over time. I’m still in year one so I like to keep it charged up, but at the same time I like having my car not be in the garage so it’s easier for me to go to work. I’m comfortable leaving it out off the charger down to 40% now. My round trip to work and back takes 18-25 percent and I have to leave charge for taking my kids to their extracurriculars and unplanned drives like taking my son last night to get his backpack from the next town over.

On Sunday, I had the car on a road trip and pulled into a charger at a rest stop with 4% remaining. It just takes time to get to know your car and how it behaves.

Other way around for me… if I know I’m not going to be going anywhere soon and I’m higher than 70%, a tiny bit uncomfortable. Prefer no more than 80% tops in those situations and better less.

I do have good infrastructure near me and I’m on a very stable area of the grid; contributes.

it’ll go away

No. I have short range, I don’t fully charge it, and I’m perfectly fine

When my Tesla was 300 miles old I took it on a 3,000 mile road trip in the dead of winter. I learned its idiosyncrasies and how far it can go in real world driving. Since that trip I have Zero range anxiety.

Here are some tips. You don’t give details on your car (why not?) so I’ll assume a modern car with 300 miles of range.

• in an ice car there it’s a warning light that comes on when the gas gets low. I think of 10% charge remaining as that warning.

• when planning a long trip into areas with poor charging support always navigate from supercharger to supercharger. My routes look like this: first where I want to go. Second where I’m going to charge. Ideally I get to the charger with 20% down to 10% charge. That amount leaves me a buffer for unforeseen events.

• if you do get stuck without enough charge to get to the next charger Do Not run the battery to zero in some futile attempt to get there. Stop. Call a tow truck. Have them take you to the closest supper charger. It is massively simpler and less damaging to the car to drive it onto the tow truck.

• my advice is to drive your car to a bunch of different chargers and get used to the way things work. The cure for anxiety is knowledge.

Not anymore because I trust my routine.

Nah I just drive a bit slower,

Sometimes my pals pass me doing 40mph if I forget to charge and need to limp home with only a few miles spare

I just make sure I have enough range to reach the cottage (about 100km away) for an emergency and if for some reason I can’t charge there, the distance to the closest fast charger (40 km from the cottage), so 140 km total.

I live on a island with very limited charging. I only have 140 miles range at 100% and rarely ever charge over 80 and charge once every couple of days unless I’m using the car more. I also only commute 16 miles a day and work long hours so I know what my usage will be. I try not to let it go below 40% but sometimes make it below 30 and still don’t worry

It is normal at the beginning but will pass with time.

One trick is to change the configuration to show the remaining kilometers on the screen instead of the battery %.

After my first experience with my Zoe Q210 intense, 21kw battery ,@160km range in the Sommer holiday, we did 2500km trip and back home.No more anxiety for us Anny Moore.Now we have an Hyundai ioniq 28kw Modell 2018 , we have made a long trip in August @ 4000km and back home.We cross Austria,Hungary and Romania up to the Black Sea and back home in Vienna (Austria).We can charge every 100km if we want to stop for a brack but no needed, our car is verry good on hiway @200k range 120-130km/h.In the country site little more.Buy an EV and enjoy, please.Peace.
