I don't know, in my EV I don't even have to pay attention to that part [fuel levels] anymore.

That sounds nice. I couldn't do that. On most days, I don't have the opportunity to take an unexpected 15-20 minute pit stop in the middle of my day if I need to refuel the car. That would create a significant problem for me if I didn't pay attention to fuel levels to make sure that didn't happen on any given day.

I literally cannot get to my office or the expressway or even the nearest major roads without passing a gas station, and I can do half a fill-up in two minutes or less. So even if I wake up in the morning to find that I've overlooked a fill-up and the gas light is on, I won't be late for anything. But the nearest fast charger is at least five minutes away (and out of the way), and would take 5-10 minutes to add 60-80 miles (it's fast at low charge, but still takes longer than a gas pump). That can wreck my day. So even if I could charge at home, I would have to keep a real close eye on the charge level to make sure I never hit that warning light - even if the warning came at a quarter tank.

That's part of why I think the focus on long-distance road trips as the source of range anxiety is a bit off. Because on a long-distance road trip, you usually do have a ton of flexibility - and lots of places in your schedule you can fit a 15-20 minute stop into, even if it's unexpected. But if the range bites you in the middle of an ordinary day that's scheduled with stuff you have to be on time for, it presents a different problem than with an ICE car.
