I worried an EV would give me range anxiety
I worried an EV would give me range anxiety. After 4 months I realize it’s a non-issue.
Here’s why: The typical American drives about 13k miles a year. That sounds high, but it’s only 36 miles a day.
I drive around 14k miles a year (38 miles a day) and my typical day only uses 10-15% of my battery! 🤯 (Model S has a 375 mile range)
In fact, I heard keeping the battery charge around 50% optimizes for longevity, so I only charge my car to 60% nightly. I still plug in with 45-50% at the end of the day! (Tesla says charging to 80% daily is fine, I’m just being conservative).
I only fully charge the night before a road trip.
Really enjoying EV ownership so far!
