I've done several 2000 mile road trips in a 320 mile range EV. That's a 225 mile range 10%-80%. IOW just over 3 hours. I know I can drive longer than 3 hours without stopping for food, coffee, a bathroom or sleep, but I don't wan't to.

On a short road trip you can drive for 5 hours without stopping because you recover at your destination, but on a long one it's so much nicer to stop regularly.

Adding the complexity of a range extender for trips in the 3 - 5 hour range just seems silly.
