This doesn't follow at all. Range anxiety is not being able (or worrying about cutting too close) to make it while out on the road. If you stay so close to home that you can go back and charge that's not the scenario.
Like when I took (pre-pandemic) our Fiat 500e to work and whether I can run an errand after work depends on the lottery of whether I can get a charger spot at the office.
Or having to come up with elaborate schemes to get the car to the dealer because it's too far on one charge.
The car is awesome for short errands near home but anything farther out becomes a project to manage.

According to a cursory google search the Fiat 500e has a range of 320km. Make that 250 due to overstated advertising if you want. Surely this has to be enough to ride your car to and back from work and pick up a bunch of groceries on the way? How long is your commute?
- raisedbyninjas 6y agoThe previous gen 500e only has half of that range, ~135km. The new gen still isn't available in the US.
- ginko 6y agoOkay, that is a bit low.
- jjav 6y agoThe realistic range is 80 miles (with some hills here) and that commute was about 36. Unable to score a charging station at office meant no detours and a nervous slow coast back home.
