The other side of this form of range anxiety (that is, where you've already bought the EV, and aren't sure if it will make it home) is what do you do if you DO run out of charge short of your destination? With an IC engine, if I run out of gas (and it has happened a few times over the years) it's at worst a mild inconvenience to hike to the nearest gas station and back with a gas can. But AFAIK there's no practical equivalent for pure EVs.
