> indicated that 62 percent of EV owners were so anxious about EV range that they had at times curtailed their travel plans.

So.. wouldn't increasing overall range be the "one thing" you could do to actually improve this?




This is it - even a highly available charging network only lightly alleviates range anxiety, as the other portion is the time it takes to charge up. If I can drive for 600+ miles on a single charge, the vast majority of my trips are covered, even round-trips. But sitting around waiting 30m to charge gets annoying every several hours, even if I can find a working station.
