Once we have decent charging infrastructure in place

I think part of the range anxiety thing is that buyers think of their worst trip, target than the average trip.

On average, Canadians commute 8.7km to work. Those who commute for more than 60 minutes are averaging 40km. For these trips, drivers don't need charging infrastructure beyond what they have at home. (And yes, public transit would be an even better option)

There are always outliers, and every time this comes up, people talk about how far they drive on road trips and vacations. Those are not normal use, and they should probably be handled by renting an ICE car.

Or just getting on a plane to go somewhere far, rather than spending three days of your already limited vacation driving past corn.
