I can not stop for a few hours every few hundred miles on a Texas run, nor an east coast run.
IMO EVs are only good for commuters that only drive a few hours a day and can then plug in overnight. However, most older homes do not have a sufficient main electric box to install a charger. Upgrading the house electric from the pole, meter and new main circuit box would be a requirement.
There are numerous stories about battery life. But the key is that it costs several thousand to replace the battery pack. This is where the falling resale value stories come from. There are new types of batteries last couple years, but still stopping ever few hundred miles does not fly.
Tesla (and others) should concentrate on the vehicle models that do make sense for folks to buy (commuters). I note that Ford has stepped back from heavy vehicle EV production, cancelling its large SUV and delaying production of pickups at the under construction Tennessee plant.
