Driver concerns

Range anxiety

Range anxiety is concern that an EV may not have enough remaining energy or accessible charging to complete the intended journey. It can relate to vehicle range, charger availability or uncertainty about the route. Larger batteries, more reliable public charging and better route planning have reduced the problem for many journeys, but it can still matter where charging coverage or reliability is poor. Range anxiety is a user-behaviour term rather than a technical battery condition.
