A couple of times a year, this is acceptable to me.
I have taken my kia e-niro on 1000km roundtrips, and this is totally acceptable as you have to stop for at least one meal, possibly two.
The convenience of an EV is fantastic - but I’m lucky to live in a building where charging is available.

Where I live there are car clubs with cars parked on residential streets which you can book on an app on drive straight off.

Some rental companies have free programs where you just pickup the keys at a kiosk.
You book a car, get to the rental place (only open 8am-5pm), and wait for 30 minutes while the one counter person working helps other people trying to pick up their cars. They get around to you, and they don't have the car you reserved. They try to upsell you on a larger car. You have to fool around with inspecting the car and noting any damage. If you miss anything, you fear they might try to charge you for it. You spend 15 minutes on other paperwork. They try to sell you all kinds of extra insurance. Finally, after about an hour, you're driving out in a car.
