range anxiety
Range anxiety is a very accurate term.
When I looked at a super fast EV charging project years ago, their research showed most people wildly over estimate their range requirements.
What have your requirements been over the last two years?
The challenge with getting people to a understand this though is that lifestyle marketing is inseparable from cars.
Anyone remember that research from the US that showed almost no one ever takes an SUV or 4x4 off-road?And when when they do, any modern saloon could manage 99% of the off-road consumers would tackle.
Or that stat that the UK is the largest convertable market.
It's a bit like all the current forums fad for Autobahn barges which may see an Autobahn once in the 1st year, then spend the rest of their lives in town or in a 40mhp speed controlled motorway traffic jam.

Which would you choose and why?
They are the same price.
The V60 is PHEV and an estate, but not as nice infotainment, future economy and costs, lacking the air conditioned seats and other lush things.
The Polestar is pure electric (range anxiety is my biggest concern), and far nicer on the things I care about from a cost and living with it perspective, except it's not an estate (for the rare times I'd need that).
