    Range anxiety is not an illegitimate concern though.

    Hence why I focused on vehicle classes more common as a second car. We have two cars, and one never goes further than 100 miles in a given day.

    That’s the niche EVs should focus on, especially while battery tech makes >400 mile range impractical. I think Nissan (or any car company) could do quite well focusing on the second car market.
