Limited: What's the value of talking about "range anxiety" all the time? — Autoblog Green

Limited: What's the value of talking about "range anxiety" all the time? — Autoblog Green: "We're not saying that range anxiety isn't real (it most certainly is), but why is it so important to mention this all the time? Considering that both long-range EVs with a robust recharging network and affordable hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with a reasonable refueling infrastructure will require a lot of work, why single out EVs as having the range issue? You can't drive a H2 car very far either in most places.

So, instead of constantly talking about the limited range of EVs, doesn't it make more sense to realize that – for now – if you're not driving a petroleum-powered vehicle, you won't be able to drive very far without making some serious adjustments to your normal driving style"
