Eh, I don't know about that. The current-gen Prius can easily get over 600 miles on a tank of gas if you aren't a lead foot. And a refill takes 5 minutes. For longer trips, that still makes quite a difference.
I suppose some people can cope with sustained 10 hour drives broken up with five minute bio breaks, but I cannot.
Also, unlike with gasoiline, you don't need to supervise an EV while it charges. Stopping for 30 minutes (bathroom breaks included in that time) every 5 hours doesn't seem too onerous to me.
How fast are you driving that a 30 minute charge (even at a level 3 charger) gets you sufficient range for 5 hours of driving? It should be closer to an hour of charging I'd think, if you are driving at highway speeds.
