175 miles seem to be a huge distance for me and I can't imagine not passing by at least one big city with standardized charging infrastructure.

Cities are really not that dense. Harrisburg to Pittsburg is over 200 miles along the highway. From Albuquerque you could only get to Santa Fe or vice-versa, and then you're stuck. You'd be trapped in Salt Lake City or Denver too.
