Range anxiety is overblown. Electric vehicle owners only use 13 percent of their battery capacity a day, on average. (insideevs.com)

I'm not ignoring it, I'm simply assuming most poeple are not driving across country constantly... much less without any foresight or planning

I know my small house would not fit my family from abroad if they all come to visit at the same time... I would not say such situation is preventing the adoption of condos

People do indeed have foresight. And they are planning ahead. That's why they are not buying electric cars.

They very clearly explained that it's not "constantly." It's sometimes. Sometimes they would like to take longer trips, and on these longer trips, it makes their trips even longer and more difficult to plan.

prescisely my point... they seem to be ruling out EV because of an issue most poeple face very rarely

The infrequency of an event doesn’t determine its value or importance.

no, so I have this meteor hit insurance for you... it only costs 120% of your income

I’ve never had an accident so I guess I don’t need car insurance or seatbelts.

but you just said the infrequency of an event does not determine value or importance???

I guess you just realized how silly your previous comment was... good for you

be sure to use the seatbelt next time you plan to have an accident

This is hilarious. Re-read my comment and what you just wrote. You don't understand what the sentence "the infrequency of an event does not determine value or importance" means. To use smaller words, it means that just because something happens infrequently, doesn't mean we shouldn't care about or plan for it. Accidents happen infrequently, but they're a big deal when they happen. An event can still be important even when it happens infrequently. You argued, above, that because something happens infrequently it's not important.
