"Can't go" is probably the wrong term, but rather it's not very practical without a Tesla. "fast-charging" just isn't that fast in the US for non-tesla setups. 50kW max (which you don't normally get, usually it's something less) requires you to stop for at least an hour every 2-3 hours in a Bolt.

Add in winter conditions and driving at the usual ~75MPH and it gets worse than that. I wouldn't attempt any trip longer than ~200 miles in anything but a Tesla because even the superchargers at 130kW make it just ~bearable once the supercharger novelty wears off.
