I lived in the hilly San Francisco East Bay. I have a hybrid car and my commute to work was all downhill. Going home was all uphill.

What do you make of "recharge anxiety?" Would hilly driving that eats up distance increase someone's recharge anxiety?

If we're talking about commuting to work there's no range anxiety (unless your round trip commute is over 200 miles). Assuming of course you can charge at home.

However, when taking a long trip I did have to once take into account an increase in elevation from starting point to finish. It's not as much a problem if the uphills equal the downhills. The problem is if the average uphills are more than the downhills. It's not a biggy as long as you do your homework. Assuming the trip you're going on is good for an EV anyway (I wouldn't get an EV unless you're married and need 2 cars anyway so the other car is an ICE car for the every now and then use that's not good for an EV).
