Source?

My longest ICE-powered trip recently was a ~500 mile trip across Europe with precisely one 15 minute break to pee and buy coffee. A total of ~8 hours on the road, and I was driving alone. On the plus side it was a very nice rented Audi.

My longest BEV trip in one day was 896 miles (1442 km), with about half a dozen short breaks, driving alone. 396 miles longer than your trip in your ICE car. Not sure what your data point is supposed to be proving.
