Range Matters! But fear shouldn't! I'm fairly sure that 'range anxiety' was coined by someone that sells fuel...
Most of my driving is on a Chinese electric scooter that tops out at 60mph and has a normal 40 mile range. I run a small business from home and most of my mailings go to the post office on the bike. If the box fits under the seat it will - otherwise I toss it in a backpack. I have a larger backpack that's perfect for trips to the grocery store.
The car gets brought to life once a week to keep it moving, to haul my son around, or to pick-up shipments from suppliers. I only need 12 miles range for 90% of my driving.
The Leaf wouldn't have been a good fit when I was on the road 30,000 miles each year, but it's more than enough today. I'll rent a car for a road trip, just as I rent a truck when I need one.
People talk about 'filling a tank' in 12 minutes. Too Long! It takes about 12 seconds to plug in and walk away.
