Secretly, I hope that range anxiety in EV sticks around a little longer so that people lower their average speeds on the freeway to max out their range.
That, coupled with a growing realization that most of the fun with driving is in the peppy acceleration and good handling which is pretty much table stakes for modern EVs across the price spectrum.
High sustained top speed in a straight line with an overpowered ICE car is boring and should be buried with the Lamborghinis and Ferraris (among other trends from the 80s).
