While 'range anxiety' used to be a factor in purchasing an electric vehicle years ago, consumers have less to worry about when it comes to how far their EV can go, experts say.

I'd argue that people who travel 300-350km / day are outliers. For those people, maybe an EV isn't an option yet.

Since I got an EV I've realized that a lot of people greatly overestimate how far they drive.

Oh, they're absolutely outliers.

But I'm one of them, so it's in my mind. And there are still plenty of people in rural settings for whom it'll be a concern.

Yes, those people will largely be in gas vehicles through the transition, then in hybrids. This is why the transition plans in Canada gives half credit to dealerships for hybrids, and don't outlaw existing full Ice vehicles.
