It's what people care about.

An EV that can only travel 300 miles on a charge is a complete nonstarter for me. It's simply not enough for trips I take with regularity.

Even with a 10-15 mins recharge? A couple of times a year I do make a 500 mile journey and if there wasn’t a sea in the way I would happily do it all in one sitting. But as a teeny tiny compromise I wouldn’t mind stopping to charge once or twice along the way! It would add about 20 mins to the journey sure, but seems like it’s worth the benefits to me.

I don't go places where recharging is an option.

The long trips are ones where I'd be turning one 5 minute stop into at least an hour of stops per day. That's not a small compromise any more.

You drive a full day with only one five minute stop? I think taking regular breaks is recommended when driving for long periods.

Absolutely. A stop is lighting time on fire. It turns a tedious experience into a completely unbearable one.
