About the project
Electric vehicles are supposed to be the future — but for many drivers, plugging in still comes with a knot in the stomach. This research digs into the real human side of EV driving: the uncertainty, the stress, and the moments when the system lets you down.
Range Anxiety Isn't Just About Battery
Drivers feel anxious not just when the battery is low — but when they don't know if the charger will work, be free, or even be there.
Stress Peaks at Critical Moments
Anxiety doesn't stay the same throughout a trip. It spikes — at low battery, on unfamiliar routes, after a bad charging experience.
