re: Why is ‘limited range’ for EV’s presented as ‘range anxiety’?

The frick does that have to do with charging times?
Ahhhh The old BR to Chicago race. errybody knows you can’t gumball rally anymore

Charging time is why an EV can’t win any kind of race with an ICE beyond 300 miles or so

What does this even mean? Does this mean it will be forever impossible to use EVs in any number? Norway is an example of a society where EV usage in common and works well. You if you had to could even drive all over Louisiana with one and perhaps go to Mississippi.
I don't care if the majority of our society does not accept EVs. Look at any articles about the future of transportation in this country. You likely will see it as fiction. I guess I see farther out in the future than you do. We've been an oil and gas economy for 125 years. In that amount of time going forward, perhaps in the lifetimes of your grand kids and their kids it will be different. In the meantime do what pleases you. On a recent multi state vacation, I saw an appreciable number of EVs. I honestly DGAS what anybody drives. I drive both.

Oslo to Lofoten is over 820 miles. That's a fair amount of driving.

There are battery technologies that have been proven and are being implemented that can give more range to ev's than you get out of a gas engine. Talking about ranges of about 900 miles per charge.
Vapor-ware out of China or technologies using materials and/or processes than are cost prohibitive to scale. Also, power delivery is still a huge bottleneck unless you imagine high-temperature superconductors are on the horizon.

Not even close, you seriously have a very poor education on materials science if you think that.

Look at the trends.
I do, I also have a very good grasp of thermodynamics and understand that no battery/charging technology on the horizon is going to make the order of magnitude improvements needed for EV's to truly supplant ICE vehicles in anything but commuter cars.

Does the carbon footprint of manufacturing all the new infrastructure to allow our grid to handle this new load get added to the EV’s total, or can we just act like it doesn’t exist?
Ummm wat?
My point is that it isn’t that hard to find a place to charge. You can do it at your house at night

Never heard of this term, but I thought I would share a little for anyone truly interested in what it is like, or if there is anxiety for me. I have had my Tesla for about 2 1/2 weeks now and I have my first long trip today (6 hours round trip) since I picked up my car in Memphis and drove it back to LA.
I simply went to the app, put in my destination address, selected round trip, what my current battery charge is, what my lowest acceptable charge level would be, and hit plan trip. The app routes my trip, including to a tesla charging station halfway and estimates I will be there 22 minutes. (tells me what charge level I want to charge to). I start trip, once I pull out of the parking lot I select the FSD (full self-driving) and the car steers itself to the location. It really is that simple. I pay attention of course on the drive, and if I get in a construction area I take over the steering, but other than that I just sit back, enjoy a podcast or audible, etc.
EDIT: Something else that just happened that I thought was pretty cool from Tesla. I have a service appointment scheduled in a couple weeks at a service center in Texas (2 hours away) to have a hitch installed. They just notified me via app and email that I no l no longer need to come to them, that they were having their mobile team come by my address to do the install.

If course it exists. Just like developing new oil and gas extraction has a carbon footprint.
EVs will win out in the end if we can keep up with the grid. The tech world is power hungry so keeping up with both will be a problem.

It’s been 10+ years since I lived in Norway but the tax on cars was something like 170%. If you got an EV, the tax was much less and for awhile in Oslo at least, you could use the HOV lane if you had an EV for free (but that’s gone now.)
