I can tell you it’s the most common hangup, may very well be that once I have an EV I wouldn’t worry about it but it does concern me

I can’t comprehend to compromise spending hrs stopping to charge on roadtrips especially if I had a gas vehicle I can drive instead.
you seem pretty obsessed about using your phev in electric mode as much as possible. i'm guessing that takes a bit of planning with such tiny battery.

An EV on a roadtrip isn’t a compromise I’m willing to make.
I’m not opposed to having a BEV. In my case I would never roadtrip it.

Yeah over 400 miles one way I’m not driving on a trip. So, I’m looking at one stop probably for 35 minutes or so, that’s a far cry from “6 hours charging”. If I felt confident that I could make that one stop in a stress free way I wouldn’t worry about it.

My friend who recommended the mower to me had to replace his battery after 3-4 years at the cost of a gas mower.
"roadtrip" is a broad term. it sounds like you do very long road trips. i've done 2 weekend getaways to 'get my feet wet' about the public charging experience and it's been completely positive. granted i'm doing a 1000 mile road trip and i have absolutely NO interest in doing that in ANY car.
200-550 mile one way trips are my limit.

I have 6 vehicles. Gas can get expensive especially with one having a 38 gallon tank. Charge at home. Charge at work. Simple. Just remembered I need to go plug in. .
guessing you forgot to look at the battery state of charge when heading out? i don't leave the house without knowing my state of charge. for a day i know i'm only going to office and back, 50% is plenty. if i think i might be doing other calls i'll generally start with 80.
This time I honestly did. I was still asleep. Good thing I have gas as a backup. If you planned on going to the office and back so you charge to 50%. Let’s says things come up after work leaving the office, what’s your option?
never is a long time.
ever

I once owned a battery lawn mower. My wife would say it’s taking me longer to mow the grass. I had to strategize how to mow my yard on 1 charge. I definitely had range anxiety. I had to sacrifice using the self propel feature and I had to mow often and not in the morning when the grass was still wet. I loved that mower. Quiet and lightweight but it didn’t work for me. Retuned it on the final day of the return period.
My friend who recommended the mower to me had to replace his battery after 3-4 years at the cost of a gas mower.
