I think you missed a zero.

Is there a reason you aren't considering the Leaf or the Bolt?

Leaf and Bolt cannot be used for road trips with similar convenience to an ICE vehicle or Tesla Model 3.

247 miles for the Bolt doesn't feel that shabby to me, you mentioned Camry so I guess you aren't into sub-compacts anyways? The Corolla (a sub-compact) has a range around 500 miles, so it is around .5.

Not yet. The next retooled Leaf and Bolt models will have NACS plugs and similar if not equal convenience to Tesla's Model 3.
