+1, but there's a big difference between "I regularly drive distances that exceed that car's range" and anxiety about the fact that range isn't unlimited. One is practical thinking and one is so stupid that it doesn't even count as a first world problem.
If you live in a region where distances between things are vast, it's not anxiety, it's just that you can do math. If you live where things are close together (like most of the new car market) and you have anxiety over the fact that somewhere you have a relative that you might sometime like to visit and that person lives far from a city, and
that keeps you from considering and EV, it means you're a Murrican.
New car sales techniques aren't a conspiracy, but their goal is profit. They make money by making EVs seem like a luxury product and make even more money selling full size pickups to people who may someday know someone who needs to haul something.
