While I appreciate that’s a great example of a regular long distance road trip through rural areas, have you actually looked? Looking at the Tesla Supercharger map, there seem to be plenty on the highway between the two cities, and of course there are other brand fast chargers that may be there and possible destination chargers at each end.
While I couldn’t claim such a trip is as convenient as gas, it doesn’t look at all bad for an EV. You might be surprised
I was making a point about relative scale pf travel using a personal example, not necessarily exact route. Europeans tend to forget we have rural areas with sparse populations (double or single digits per sq km) that are the size of even the largest European nations.
As EV ranges increase and chargers become more common this becomes less and less of an issue, but it is still in the “visiting rural relatives requires more planning with EV” phase just because of distances.
