Sorry, I didnt get past the paywall so I can only comment on the line I did read. >Our writer drove from New Orleans to Chicago and back to test the feasibility of taking a road trip in an EV. She wouldn’t soon do it again. I drove from Seattle to Texas over the course of a couple days in an EV and the times we stopped to charge were perfect. Very low hassle, the sort of extended (30-40 minute) break you tell yourself you'll take to stretch your legs but never do. Think we averaged two stops to recharge each day? Oh and it was built into our route. We didn't really have to think about it.
