Most people drive around their city.
People don't have range anxiety about driving around their city.
It's for the few times they need to be able to depend on a car to take them to the next city.
Yeah.
I like going camping sometimes.
Or on longer road trips.
Range is an actual issue. The fact that I'm in the city MOST of the time I drive doesn't mean I'm in the city ALL the time I drive. I don't need some article telling me range anxiety is overblown when it isn't on those days.
For the "sometimes" long distance trips, you can always hire a long-range car for the trip.
In theory. In theory some can rent a car with property XYZ. And for "sometimes but often enough" long trips those rental charges adds up fast.
