Good video. I actually never have range anxiety. However, charger anxiety is a real thing.

One that I think important when road tripping is your choice of cruising speed. The slower you go the better the range in almost all EV's, so if you're not sure about making your next charger, just slow down your cruising speed. Arriving a little later is much better than some alternative that sees you plugged into 120V outlet somewhere strange for two or three hours.

Ok this video really added to my range anxiety. Now I have like 5 new things to worry about....

I love these videos, so informative!

Great video. Taking a road trip in a couple weeks to south Florida from illinois in our 2023 Chevy bolt. Thanks for the tips. I’ll make a video about it…..

Good stuff, as usual.

Tesla DC fast charging certainly works seamlessly with Tesla vehicles. It will interesting to see how well it works with other EVs as Tesla will supposedly be allowing other EVs to use their network. Apparently there are already problems with some EVs trying to use the handful of Tesla stations equipped with the MagicDock adapters.

I never have ANY 'range anxiety' for normal driving around town as I rarely travel much more than 100-150 km away from home at a stretch and I top up the battery every couple of days at home (40%-70%is best for lower battery degradation long term). On longer road trips I can always find a good charger within my 600 km range, usually well within a 200 km range. There will be no more anxiety than with the old LPG station wagon.

We have an EV. Range anxiety happens when you go out to your car in the morning and find you forgot to plug it in last night. Or the charger faulted out and the car didn't charge.

Been there, Patrick! Perhaps we should have added "double-check your charger before you go to bed." Faulting chargers, whether at home or in public are a problem that needs to be solved. Thanks for watching and commenting.

4:15 Lower temp lower range is correct...the same for ICE cars. Everyone should know and understand this with middle school physics knowledge. Because cold air is more dense and it's increasing drag (air resistance) But good to know....An ICE car starting cold shortens the life of the engine. That does not happen in any EV. Also EV's can be preheated from the grid Remember that the battery in winter mode is kept warmer (TeslaS even warns when you stop in cold wether that the range when you start up again will be much lower due to cooling when the car is shut down.) This battery management will keep up the range much more during you're drive...(not all EV's will heat up the battery). Until now I experience a range drop with -2 celsius compared with 22 celsius of ca 20% (Ioniq 5 pr 45 limited version).

You forgot one method that everyone should know. Take local roads, instead of highways. Plan ahead and take the slower roads rather than high speed options when they are almost the same time. Your extra miles per KW will be noticeable!

I own a Ford Focus ST, I know all about range anxiety in my ICE powered vehicle, Ford must have been trying to train me for EV life 😉

Been drive ev’s for 10 + years…no RA here!

Since the cheapest EV in my country still sells for a whopping $46,6000 after taxes I am forced to drive a much cheaper ice car with no range anxiety at all. Range anxiety is a rich man's problem. Lucky you.

00:52 This is a good idea if the batteries in cars are universal and standardized in the future. Is it possible to just swap the battery like insert and expel a bullet into gunfire?

love your shirt

prior to 2000 the average American drove less than 40 mile per day, since then the number has dropped to 21 miles per day, don't believe me, pick a place you go most often and check the distance using the map app on your phone, how far is it?

I do like the idea of switching to an EV (and all the quirks that come with it) but have to think that a majority of people are just not in tune enough to consider all these aspects. Maybe it’ll have to be a learned process that takes a generation to fully engrain itself.

You could do all of this stuff, but honestly if you get a vehicle that has built in route planning (Ford, Volvo, GM, etc...) or Tesla (with super reliable supercharging network and route planning), you won't have any issues. Use the intuitive tools the car gives you and you'll be fine. By this time next year we'd be willing to bet most of these tips will be obsolete because the car will just "take care of it." Trust what they give you and you'll have a good experience.

Range anxiety, for many drivers, is about as rational as fearing the zombie apocalypse. Here’s how: 1) Get an EV that gives at least 200 miles of real-world range. This is plenty for even the longest day’s driving errands. 2) Charge at home (not everyone can do this which is why I said “many” and not “all”). 3) Consider whether any long trip can be taken some other way (which includes renting a gas car). Personally, road trips no longer appeal to me. 4) Enjoy the feeling of having to never visit a gas station again. It worked for me. Now I really don’t care what gas costs, my car is full each morning and I don’t miss doing oil changes either. As I said, it’s not for everyone but, I do believe, for many, many people, it is a perfectly fine solution, even without “miracle batteries”.

I carry a 1kw EcoFlow Delta 2. My electric gas can provides an additional 4 miles.

To greatly reduce range anxiety, I will keep driving my reliable 2002 Lincoln Town Car that I bought in 2007. 😊😊

Tesla guys think their fast on the highway. I just trail them with my 2022 Corolla SE gas 2.0. When they start getting range anxiety I’ll pass them by and waive 👋

Charge every night, even if you only drive a few miles a day. You’re basically “full” every morning. I rarely ever see below 50% in daily driving. No need to run it down before charging. That’s a “gas” car habit, because you can’t refuel a gas car at home like you can with an EV.

@@gregyohngy when I said “full” it was an oversimplification intended for those who aren’t used to owning an EV yet. I didn’t want to get into all the details about charge limits, but yes you are right about that too. My charge limit is 75% because that’s plenty for my routine driving, but I plug it in every time i park at home. Keeps the 12v battery happy, and it’s always ready to go whenever I need it. If I tried to run it down to 25% and then had an unexpected trip come up, then I’m either stuck waiting to charge at home or going to a supercharger. 75% is high enough where it only takes about an hour or so to bump up the charge before leaving home.

No Hurting demons, we don’t live in basements….

The first two suggestions are fairly useless. Want to make sure you can go further? Get a car with a bigger battery that can go further. Really? What about the person who already has an EV with a lower than 300 mile range? Or those that don't have an extra $8K to spend on a bigger battery? Same with the heat pump suggestion. Ok, I have an EV but it doesn't use a heat pump. I guess I should just sell my car! The wheels suggestion is about the only one that's worth talking about. Everything else is either something you can only consider if you have a bank account big enough enough or something everyone knows (weather kills range).

Simply buy a plug in hybrid...

With that crisis that you mention....Any good thinking government would order to use the fuel (petrol, diesel) to keep electricity power plants running. And stop distributing those to fuel stations. Because for every liter of fuel burned in a modern , efficient, powerplant the generated electricity would bring my EV at least 45 km far.....an ICE using that liter would only go 15 to 20 km. Only stupod governments would allow people to use ICE cars in such a crisis.(Few exceptions for emergency cars). And do not forget that also producing petrol and diesel asks for a lot of electricity...also filling stations need electricity....further reducing that crisis when we cut the demand for transport with at least 60% without even driving one km less.

@@EVPulse True. However, there are a other issues with EVs than just the items highlighted in the video. If you use a high wattage fast charger it damages the battery further degrading range. Add additional weight and the range is affected significantly more than an IC or diesel. If anything goes wrong with the batteries or motor you might as well just buy a new car. And I think worst of all is that EVs are so dependant on software that the owner has no control over.

@@jms546 your points are largely incorrect. There are many people who have no option other than DCFC for their EV's and even after many years and many thousands of miles have very little range loss or battery degradation. It is all in the Battey Management Systems which are improving all the time. Lifetime ownership of an EV is far less than an ICE vehicle when maintenance is factored in not to mention fueling costs. Battery changes are not something the majority of EV's will ever need despite the propaganda out there. Most will last the life of the vehicle....as for cost look up the couple that hitched their Fiat 500 to their motor home and towed it in 1st gear by mistake....blew the motor and gear box...$18,000 bill. Yeah I can replace my battery for about half that if I really needed to. Yes ICE vehicles have some conveniences (I still have several - a couple old classic MG's, a Silverado Truck for hauling firewood, etc., and a Toyota Rav4 which gets driven rarely) but I find our Kona EV way more enjoyable to drive both in economy and drive ability. In any case EV's will eventually work for everyone and at this point would serve most people as the average American drives about 35 miles a day. Easy for an EV if you can home charge even easier. Oh and Hyundai does not do Ober the air updates so no lock outs of my car....plus ICE vehicles have a pretty comparable amount of software!!! Have a good day! Mike 🇨🇦
