Range anxiety is real, and you're underestimating its magnitude. Today, gas stations are practically ubiquitous along major population and travel corridors, so there's a huge install base of infrastructure when you're stuck in unfortunate or unusual circumstances and you need to acquire more fuel.
EV-related infrastructure has a lot of catching up to do, when your EV is one traffic detour away from being inoperable, because only dozens of charging stations exist in your area.

- maxsilver 9y ago> and you're underestimating its magnitude. I don't think I'm underestimating it. You are correct, EV infrastructure is poor or completely absent in most places. I mentioned the Volt and a i3 for precisely that reason. (I own a Volt for that reason). If you are worried about range anxiety, just buy an EV that has a gas backup generator, and you are fully covered in either situation.
