    I drove half way across the country and back last summer in my EV and it was great, except for a couple of the stops being in shady locations.

    EV rest stops still have a little ways to go to becoming more convenient, but there is no range issue.

      Yup, we did 2 x 5200+ mile round trips this year with zero issues. I think the problem is that people don’t like the fact that you actually have to think a tiny bit and plan a tiny bit sometimes instead of just jumping in the car and going until it yells at you to stop and get gas. People in this country, especially the anti-ev crowd, really dislike having to think for themselves.
