I guess we'll see how things pan out in the next few years.
I think that's part of the "fun" of owning an EV today...no, let me make that "intrigue"...to participate in something ahead of the game. Rather than just being a robot behind the wheel, we have to engage our minds, our creativity, and our innovation if we want to make "Point A to Point B" in a vehicle that may have to run the gauntlet of "will there be, or won't there be" power stations enroute. Well over 100 years ago there were intrepid travelers doing the same thing, in the same type of environment, with the new fangled gasoline engine cars, enbarking upon travels far and wide that founded a wealth of stories written to entertain the ages.
If I wasn't burdened with a SO who pitches a fit if a charging stop takes longer than the prerequisite time it takes to rest a nozzle in a gas tank for a refill, I would happily be joining those impromptu journalists logging their travels in an EV, perhaps even with a dog named Charlie, or Bud, on a blog for the world to read.
Imagine doing a trip to Alaska in a 40kW Leaf with a range of 150 miles, and no active battery management. I would be the
H. Nelson Jackson of my day!
In 5 years we will look back on these current days with nostalgic relief that range anxiety was merely a psychological phenomenon that is, thankfully, no longer relevant. We hope.
Maybe by then I'll have my 400+ mile range Maxpack Rivian. I refuse to settle for anything less.

Maybe something a tad smaller, a bit less terrifying to drive down a country road.
