All my usual destinations are within 150 miles, so should be fine
Totally the deciding factor on whether range anxiety is a factor.
With the V60, I've had it for 5 weeks and already done 1,800 miles. And I'm an entirely recreational and social weekend driver... choosing to go out to the middle of nowhere on a Saturday or Sunday to hike peacefully where few people will be.
Each weekend I'm averaging 360 miles, which is a single roundtrip to somewhere there would be no charging.
This weekend I plan 400 miles and it's to a camp site. Even though there are caravan electric hookups most camp sites do not allow one to plug an EV into the ring circuit.
So for my use range anxiety would be a real thing and present on almost every use of the car.... but my use isn't normal family use at all. Most people are doing shopping runs, school runs, local National Trust visits, the family < 50 miles away at weekends, commuting less than an hour to work... for most, I do think range anxiety isn't a thing and that's where a Tesla or Polestar 2 (or BMW i, or Jaguar e-pace) or even a Nissan Leaf would shine.

I echo that range anxiety to an extent, but it will only factor into the tiny minority of my trips. For me, going fossil fuel free is worth that extra hassle for 1 / 2 trips per year.
