I am 100% road warrior like you describe. I'll do a coast-to-coast in 29ish hours of driving.

I recently moved to an EV for my road-tripper vehicle. Yes, I need to stop and recharge every 4-5 hours for 20-40mn.

I find that I like it. A stretch, a coffee, snacks and replenishment. My favorite chargers are at a supermarket and a cafe' nearby.

I agree the pro-EV types try to whitewash this a lot, and I agree it is dishonest.

...but I find that I am okay with the cross-country EV reality anyway.

Thank you. Simply acknowledging that it is a tradeoff instead of saying "but nobody does that" is refreshing.
