Your last paragraph is just objectively wrong. People here are commenting how it's wrong for long drives, so I'll chip in with how it's wrong for a short drive too. South bay to Sacramento in a Chevy bolt. I can drive 55mph and do the round trip on one full battery charge. Or I can drive 75mph and save so much time that it more than makes up for the necessary mid trip charge up in Davis on the return.
