You guys are making shit up. My wife drives seven miles a day. It takes her weeks to need gas. If I plugged an EV in overnight on a weekend, she'd be fine. Inevitably her car will need gas when it's 37, windy and rainy and the first two stations I go to will have premium out of order. We already use my car exclusively for road trips, so there's really zero opportunity for EV range anxiety in our situation. Given the number of EV'a just in my community and the fact that I've never seen one on the side of the road, I'd guess they're not freaking out about it either.

When I was in high school, we had a weekly car club meeting, someone's dad would bring a car to school and the teens would drool on it. The funniest one was an L88 Corvette. The owner commented that it had a four gallon tank and that he couldn't make it to Ft Worth from the middle of Dallas. So 60's 427 sports cars are my idea of range anxiety.
