I drive from Ingolstadt to Bonn regularly and on average I am able to get ~170km/h average speed for the trip. If I'm lucky (e.g. at night) I surpass ~180km/h. That requires a lot of cruising at 250km/h. Starting with a full tank I still end up with gas to spare. I had a Ford Focus 10 years ago and I remember managing ~150km/h average speed for the trip without refuelling... If I need to charge an EV once for 20 min to be able to complete the trip then the car probably does not make sense for this use case. An Opel Corsa would finish the trip faster, for a fraction of the price. Now if you give me an EV that can do 500km at >180km/h avg speed without recharging under normal german traffic conditions (lots of 250km/h mixed with lots of 130km/h) and is still left with some power for a bit of city driving then that would be an improvement.
