That's 1000 km. Which is much farther than any gasoline powered car with a full tank.

Range anxiety will stop being a thing when electric vehicles are common and nobody thinks of them a something special. It's a matter of social acceptance, and the infrastructure that follows.

You can always find a gas station that will get you going within 10 minutes, so it’s a different consideration when charging is hard.

Driving an EV would be terribly annoying if I didn’t have a charger at home, but I know people that rely on super charging to keep their car going (have free super charging given early Tesla adopter).
