Why is it stupid? If anything Europeans would be more sensitive to delays in their trip because of charge issues.
If you're going on a weekend getaway then the difference between 4-6 hours of driving and 8-10 is huge.
I live in Croatia and have dark memories of standing in front of gas stations on the highway in the summer and waiting for +30 minutes in the heat to do 3 minutes of gas pumping. I wonder what sort of problems will EV driving tourists be going through in the next few years as they become more popular.

Because for exceptional peak usage you could also just rent a car, and then optimize your car choice for the day-to-day usage. Driving a smaller battery around takes less energy, so it is cheaper to buy and cheaper to drive.
