This has been my experience too, I've put 90k on my EV in the past 2 years. I've never experienced range anxiety, and I live in Australia which is a similar size to USA and we do regular road road trips of 5 plus hours.

Road trips in EVs are actully more chill because the car informs you where and when to charg and you never wait more than 30 mins to complete a charge, which frankly is how long you should be resting between 3 hour driving stints anyway. Evs actually discourage driver fatigue which has to be a plus no one mentions too.

Every single range anxiety issue I've read about has been from a person who almost certainly doesn't own, and hasn't driven an EV or has some weird preserve petrol agenda.
