A bit depressing but in fairness, that was pretty much my thinking before researching/buying. I'd used to see Teslas on the road and wondered if they had massive anxiety about finding somewhere to re-charge on their journeys.
Just wondering, is that typical of other peoples families and friends (at least those who don't already drive EVs)?
