Anxiety about range is a real thing. People new to EVs imagine they're going to be stranded, don't know if they can trust remaining range/state of charge indicators (e.g. compare it to their experiences with cell phone batteries), worry they won't be able to find a working charger, are afraid that charging will take hours. With experience (education), these worries go away. You learn how much real-world range your car can actually do, you learn which chargers around you are reliable, you learn what tools you have available for planning routes, you learn how to deal with running low, you learn about charging curves. You are repeating some of the myths that cause this anxiety. For example, most modern EVs have enough battery to last a whole week of city driving. You can forget to plug in, even a couple of nights in a row. DC chargers can add 50 miles of range in 5 minutes, so it's not a big deal even if you're dropping someone off.
