I typically rent a car to go between LA and the bay area. All modern gas cars can make that trip on one tank. An EV can not.

At this point someone usually pipes up with "well you were going to be stopping for an hour somewhere anyway". No I was not. I stopped for less than 5 minutes at a rest stop to pee. And I stopped at a gas station to buy a quarter tank because that's all the room I had. Price seemed right and the milage estimate said I wasn't going to make it without. Turns out I filled up only 3/4 of a tank in San Jose before drop off so that stop wasn't needed after all.
