It is a knock-out factor for long trips. I agree that if it meets your needs, an EV is compelling. But let's not try to make it out as something it's not.
Having done several long trips, I strongly disagree. I certainly wouldn't recommend it if your idea of a road trip is eating a sandwich at the wheel and running into the bathroom while you pump gas, but if you actually sit down for your meals and take stretch breaks, charging barely adds any time. I drove DC to South Florida this winter and I'm planning on DC to Montreal this summer and not once do I wish for a gas car.
