US has 120v, though. charging at home is unfortunately a scarce option. people mostly park on public streets a few hundred meters away from home and there are no public power outlets either. shopping malls and gas stations are the most common options. that's why only really wealthy people with private garages can use their home power outlets.

In US, you have 240V outlets as standard, right? It's not something like 120V?

With something like Model 3 LR, I would probably never have to seek a charger and just plug it when I get home in the home outlet.

I find the term charging anxiety to the point and the difference with range anxiety self-explanatory

charging stations are too rare and fast charging is not fast as stated. 90% of public fast chargers are 50kw and they charge only 100km range in 10 mins. this is so useless. if you want to charge overnight, you need to have a very nice house with a private garage.
