I guess, but another thing to look at is, a lot of people who own EVs aren't the type to travel down rural areas. A few people I know that own Teslas don't even leave the GVA so range anxiety isn't a thing for them.

I wouldn't consider Range Anxiety and Charge time anxiety the same thing. Two different "complaints".

However how many of us wished that our ICE cars filled up even faster than they already do now? I sure wish so.

The main concern is infrastructure which I understand, but EV is new. I'm sure when ICE vehicles were first introduced people had range anxiety as gas stations weren't as common. We're slowly getting the infrastructure needed. Like everything, its not just going to pop up right away.

Look at how many Tesla superchargers exist now compared to 8 years ago.
