Range anxiety remains one of the most frequently mentioned problems by potential electric vehicle buyers. Even though modern EVs have improved ranges compared to earlier models, many drivers are still worried about running out of battery during longer trips. Unlike gasoline cars where fuel stations are everywhere, charging stations can be limited, especially in rural areas. Long waiting times at busy charging points also add to this concern. Drivers often feel forced to constantly monitor their remaining battery percentage and plan every trip in detail. For commuters with short daily drives, this is less of an issue, but for those who love road trips, it can feel limiting. Car manufacturers and charging companies are working on expanding networks and improving battery technology. Until these improvements are widespread, range anxiety will continue to play a big role in the hesitation around buying electric cars.
