  When the first ICE cars arrived they had to buy fuel from pharmacies and general stores and probably had the exact same anxiety. Electricity is ubiquitous. Pretty soon charging points will be everywhere, with the added bonus that you start every morning with a full 250+ miles of range.

  Honestly, the first couple weeks of ownership are like that. Then you realize you can't possibly use 400 km range doing daily tasks and you don't even glance at the range anymore. Plugging in becomes part of the routine like closing the garage. Even road trips are low stress in EVs with good range. The car navigation adds stops and you can just blindly follow. I manage the stops more actively, but I find it fun (I also optimized furl economy in my gas cars too, so same thinking really). You could easily do a 1000 km day without thinking about range once, just follow the directions.
