Title: Re: Nissan Leaf EV Owners: Range Anxiety Real for You?

Hey all, I'm a Leaf owner with about 40k miles on my 2017 model. I've found that range anxiety is pretty real for me, especially on long road trips or when I know I'll be driving in areas with limited charging infrastructure. Has anyone else out there experienced similar issues?

"Yessss, I feel ya. My friend just got a Leaf and their range anxiety is legit, especially in the city where there aren't as many charging spots. They're considering leasing a gas-powered car for road trips."

"Hey guys, I've been driving a Leaf for a few years now and I'd say range anxiety is definitely real for me, especially on longer trips. But I've learned to plan my routes in advance and always try to charge up during peak hours when possible. Anyone else have similar experiences?"

"Hey guys, I've got a Leaf Gen 2 and range anxiety isn't a major issue for me, but I do plan my routes accordingly. I've got a 62 kWh pack and it's been doing great so far, averaging around 240 miles per charge. Still, I wish Nissan would hurry up with the new battery tech"

"Yea, range anxiety is a real thing for me. I average around 150 miles on a single charge with my '21 Leaf, but it can get hairy when I'm cruising on the highway with nothing but EV charging stations in the middle of nowhere. Anyone else have a similar experience?"

Honestly, I'm a huge EV fan, but I've had range anxiety on my 2017 Leaf. Usually, it's just a case of planning my route better, but on long trips, I have to charge up at gas stations that can accommodate EVs. Has anyone else out there found any reliable charging locations for long-distance travel?

"Been driving an EV for 3 yrs now, and I can say range anxiety still gets to me sometimes. I've learned to plan my routes in advance and charge at stations along the way, but it's not always convenient. Anyone else have tips for managing anxiety on longer trips?"
