You can’t just assume every time you go somewhere your battery is fully charged.
I mean, you can, because you are clearly emotionally tied into your purchase. But I can’t as an engineer.

I can, because I charge it every night. Also, I have never once engaged in a long road trip that I did not know about at least a few hours in advance.
I think you should not get an EV. But I like mine.
I made plenty of spontaneous trips. But even then I just need to pop into my garage, plug in the car, and it'll likely be close to 100% charged within 1-2 hours. Just enough time for me to get breakfast and read the morning YC news.
And even if you totally forget about charging and you really need to go, that's just an additional ~20 minutes or so. You don't even need to plan the route anymore, with so many charging stations available: https://supercharge.info/

I have doubts about that.
