We usually drive 400 miles straight without stopping and many times without seeing any civilization.
Further, most of the Western half of the USA has level 2 charging stations, not level 3 fast charge (L3 chargers exist yes, but are often relegated to areas way out of the way in major cities). So it’s no where close to just ‘taking a break’, it’s sitting there at Maveriks or Love’s or some random Target/walmart for hours next to Fred in his model 3 jacking off to porn while Tony in his Rivian on the other side sleeps.
Maybe it will be worth it in a decade when EVs can fast charge in under 30 minutes at a station in BFE Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, South Dakota or Minnesota for example.
For now however, the entire thing is not exactly advantageous for a family of 5 travelling 3,000 miles twice a year. Especially with young children.
