Every new EV sold today can charge from 0% to 80% in an hour. You can drive 250 miles before lunch and 250 after.

Or you can buy an ICE vehicle and charge to 100% in one minute. Your choice, really.

That speed is just not useful. You need a lunch break in your 8 hour drive.
(Also, the entire pit stop time for ICE is much more than a minute, so it's a false comparison)

Do you eat or work at the gas/charge station? If no, then you also need to add trip travel time from work to the charger and back. And possibly city transport ticket fees for two trips if the charger is far away.

The overlap between places with lots of charging stations and places I would really like to spend and hour for lunch while on a road trip isn't huge.
I'm not saying you cannot road trip with an EV. Lots of people obviously do. But there is something about having to plan your route in detail before you leave and having all your stops dictated to you by your GPS which feels unappealing.
