I was worried about that too, but the day-to-day benefits ended up outweighing that concern considering 90% of my driving is within 150 miles of my home.
The few times a year I do drive more than 150 miles in a trip, I've already found my favorite DC fast charging stations in each direction along the interstate. The car's navigation system takes into account the car's battery life, expected range, and available charging stations, so it does most of my route planning for me.
If I'm really in a crunch for time or going on an extra long haul, the cost of the occasional rental car is still cheaper than what I was spending on gas each year. I know my experience isn't the same as other parts of the world, but the range anxiety of owning an EV quickly fades after it becomes part of your routine and you get a feel for the actual limits of your car.
