Fast chargers aren’t at every exit on the highway so it still requires planning you don’t have to do in an ICE. BUT THE EV owners I know have crossed this emotional hurdle and accept the planning necessary.

Back in the late nineties I drove from northern California to Mazatlan, an awesome four-day road trip, to meet up with friends at their timeshare. I made it a three-day drive back, by doing Arizona to northern California in one looong day.
This seems like an experience that is currently (and for the foreseeable future) impossible with an EV?
