    Not my experience at all, my EV has an even smaller range and we just did 1300km across Europe to come visit the family for Christmas, yes it was a bit of extra break times with the low-ish range of my e208 (340km official, much much less real range on highway in winter). There’s so many chargers now you can definitely avoid full ones, apps show you if it’s full before you get there. But I never had it yet that it was completely full/had to wait. Charging time always super quick and by the time we walk to the shops, toilet break and get a coffee we’re good to go, sometimes we take more time than the car need when the little one needs to play. For the rest of the time there’s always chargers nearby and in every day driving I never feel range anxiety, I do wish I had an extra 30min highway time before charging which I think I’ll have in the summer. I think if you’d have one of the newer EVs with even faster charging and insane range I don’t see how you could struggle at all.

      Welcome to Canada, the world isn’t the same all over. Winter where we’re at means -30° and your range becomes shit no matter what you drive.
