Range anxiety is one of the biggest concerns people have about electric vehicles.

But how much of that concern is based on today’s technology — and how much is based on outdated assumptions?

In this episode of The Clean Energy Edge Podcast, we break down the reality of EV range and charging in 2026.

We look at:

• Average electric vehicle range today

Modern EVs commonly offer 300+ miles of range, and fast chargers can add hundreds of miles in under 30 minutes depending on the vehicle and charger.

But like any technology, EVs still have trade-offs — and understanding those trade-offs helps separate facts from outdated assumptions.

This episode is part of our EV vs Internal Combustion series, where we break down the biggest myths and realities about electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, cost, and the future of transportation.

If you’re curious about electric vehicles, range anxiety, and how EV charging really works, this episode will help bring some clarity to the conversation.
