Does anyone else get battery anxiety when their EV is not fully (or 90%) charged, even if you are not going to use the full range?

I only drive about 50 miles a day but still get anxiety if I don’t charge my car overnight.

Is there any issues with charging everyday only 10%?

    Congratulations, you have irrational range anxiety.

    As long as I have at least 40%, I can basically go anywhere I need to in my area, so it’s of no concern if I leave home with 50% battery or higher. I use about 30% per day and charge daily to 80%.

    I just make sure I have enough range to reach the cottage (about 100km away) for an emergency and if for some reason I can’t charge there, the distance to the closest fast charger (40 km from the cottage), so 140 km total.
