What Is EV Range Anxiety?

2023 Cadillac Lyriq Exterior Charging Port

Congratulations! You just bought a brand-new 2023 Cadillac Lyriq electric vehicle (EV). You’re looking forward to the quiet ride, super-sharp electronic displays, and ultra-efficient air conditioning.

But what do you do if your EV battery suddenly quits? Did you forget to charge it overnight? What if you can’t make it to Miami on a single charge? There’s no reason to worry. Val Ward Cadillac in Fort Myers explains the EV range anxiety definition and why you probably don’t have to worry about this issue.

What is the EV Range Anxiety Definition?

As you may have guessed, EV range anxiety comes from a fear of your vehicle running out of charge before you make it to a charging station. A survey from EV Box states that 30% of EV drivers said they feel “uncertain” about being able to charge their vehicles when needed.

J.D. Power said that charging infrastructure and charging stations are the primary concerns of new EV owners. It could be one reason why more people aren’t purchasing EVs, according to charging station provider EV Connect.

You have no reason to worry about EV range anxiety over a lack of charging stations, particularly in the Cape Coral or Naples areas. 

Listen to Your Cadillac to Alleviate EV Range Anxiety

Your car will tell you where to go when it needs a recharge, eliminating any fear because the vehicle’s computer ties into your GPS. For example, your EV battery monitor says you have 20 miles left before it’s time to recharge. It will alert the vehicle’s GPS and show you all of the charging stations within range. The service team at Val Ward Cadillac can help you learn more about your EV. Just ask us, and we’re happy to help!

EV range anxiety typically occurs in places with little EV charging infrastructure. Here in Central and South Florida, there are plenty of charging stations! Did you know that Florida has more than 2,800 charging stations? The Fort Myers area has more than 200 charging stations, says PlugShare.com
