For example: "recharge anxiety", a condition electric car owners experience when looking for a recharge station. Just saw a story about Sweden or somewhere, where the government is installing charging rails on their motorways.

I suppose recharge anxiety wouldn't be restricted to electric cars, but applies to any battery powered device.

Can you think of any other neologisms which have recently appeared?
 
How recent?
Crowdsourcing, fake news, are both fairly recent.
One I really like is "Scunthorpe problems" when referring to the unintended consequences of filtering on groups of letters rather than the word, such as when AOL prevented anyone entering their address as Scunthorpe from creating accounts. But this is from over 20 years ago - so not strictly 21st century.
 
Social media, microhousing, crowdsource, alt-right.
