I was among those worrying about range until I spent 5 minutes thinking about what I actually do on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.

I was too - that was until this year when I've had to do multiple 800km long trips and I've found out that mentally I can't really do longer than 200-250 km without a 20 min break. With that in mind, most of the EVs would be perfectly fine for me.

This is still a problem when there is not enough charging spots for peak days.

In France most people go to summer vacation at the same time, and on those days when all the charging spots are taken and you have to wait 20 minutes for one of the owner to finish his break it's a real problem.
