I've driven Megane E-tech for the last 3 months, and I wouldn't recommend it for long road trips either. It's a pleasant city car, the traditional car bits in it are very nice, but the EV tech in it is meh.
In practice it charges at ~60kW most of the time (Renault advertises peak speed twice as that, but that peak is very brief). I only got 2.6mi/kWh on highways in the UK weather. This is significantly worse than 150kW+ charging and 3.3mi/kWh efficiency I'm getting in Ioniq 5. Tesla can be even more efficient with similarly high charging speeds.
Road trip capabilities of BEVs on the market vary wildly from near-ICE performance to getting stranded.
