Range Anxiety is the worry the driver of an electric car experiences about the battery running out of power before reaching their destination or a charging point. And according to the MIT Technology Review, it is obsolete.
Recently, research was done analyzing people’s driving habits across the country by Jessika Trancik at MIT and her team. What they found will lay Range Anxiety to rest. Currently, the available electric vehicles can handle 90 percent of car travel in the U.S. In addition, the team found that the electric vehicles that are on the market today could replace 87 percent of the personal vehicles on the road and get us all to and from where we need to be.
“It’s taking the approach of empowering people with information, which often today they don’t have,” Trancik says. “These changes can happen from the ground. And I think the area of personal transportation is just so exciting for that reason, because private citizens can really make a difference today.”
So, if your reasoning for not getting into an electric vehicle yet is range anxiety, it no longer makes sense! Even better news is that you can order a Mitsubishi i-MiEV from DELLA Mitsubishi!
