First couple of times you go down Below 0% indicated range/charge you get a bit scared. But I have never gone totally out of charge, even though I have done that sort of drives at least 20 times sofar. Just waste of time to stop and charge if you know you will get to a destination with charging capability. I drive it down to 1-5% and then instantly connect the charge cable when I get home. Not always, but when needed. Still has over 95% of battery capacity left. 100.000km driven sofar.

You are kind of right. When I got my first EV in 2014 a 220 mile trip involved an hour of pre-planning and three stops of ~40 minutes each. I’ve just ordered an ID.3 Tour (77kWh) and I know that I need to stop more often than the car does (because I have the bladder of a man in his fifties) so the plan for long journeys now is just to plug it in every time I need to stop. However, the charging infrastructure has always been there since 2014; it’s less reliable than it was seven years ago, and upgrades aren’t rolling out as fast as they could, but as long as you keep a contingency (20% on the ID.3 would be >50 miles) and use ZapMap or Plugshare, you will always find a working charger when you need one.
