This akin to parking anxiety, where you never know how long it will take to find a parking in the city. Still, we have cars in the city.

I've had an ev for over five years now and I have so far waited on a charger once, for twenty minutes. And that was at peak hours of the spring break mountain rush (when every swede packs their cars and heads from the populated south to the mountaneous north-west).

On the other hand, I have spent accumulated hours on driving from broken charger to charger that is only for customers to one that I'm not sure if it's in operation yet.

Also hours on just installing different charging apps with the usual registration flow (email, password, verify email, register card, etc).

More chargers and standardized experience (why not just chip and pin?) would be highly appreciated.

Here in Ireland, in the motorway filling stations where the chargers are located, it is very common for me to not only have to wait, but often for 2-3 car to charge ahead of me. Very limited infrastructure here, though.

I've never encountered range anxiety myself, or the people I know. I'd have to work pretty hard to get enough miles around town to deplete the 90% charge I start every day with. And on road trips the computer just tells me where I'm going to recharge and it always works. I have yet to wait. Granted, I don't live in California.
