Range anxiety moments ever almost not made it back?

[Alan]

Have you ever faced those heart-pounding moments of range anxiety, where you’re not sure if you’ll make it back? It’s that uneasy feeling when you watch the battery percentage drop and realize the miles left don’t quite line up with how far you still need to go. Maybe you took a trip that was a bit too ambitious, or you thought a charging station would be right around the corner.

We’ve all had those close calls! Share your experience with us what went down, how did you cope, and what did you learn from it?

A few years back, I was on my way to see family and totally messed up the distance. Seeing the battery go down was super stressful. I ended up slowing way down and turning off the heat, but I just barely got there. From then on, I made sure to really plan out all my stops in advance.

One summer, I was driving and trusted an online listing for a charging station, but when I got there, it wasn't even working. My battery kept going down, and I had to drive super slow with no AC. I pulled into the next town with almost no battery left. That taught me to always check if stations are working beforehand and to always have a plan B.

I remember this one time I was driving on some back roads and thought I could make it to the charger. Got there with only 3% battery! Now, I always make sure to really look at the maps.
