I am confused by your comment. Any EV with a 250+ mile range and your scenario is moot. You just go.

Had an EV since 2018, range is never a concern.

My only concern is that traditional American car manufacturers still suck at making EVs.

Well if you're going to limit the universe to a set of cars that can drive far enough. Sure, new premium EVs bring far less range anxiety.

Used, budget EVs have both longevity and range issues. Used, budget ICE vehicles do not. It's important to remember that the market isn't just $50k+ vehicles.

And cars on the limit cause the most hand-wringing. Did you plug in last night? Do we stop early or at a meal time? You plan your day around it. It's not insurmountable but it exists.
