>I know people that routinely travel in EVs between Mendocino county and San Diego county. Roughly the distance between NY and Georgia.

I would assume they are forced to recharge multiple times over that distance, which might be fine - you'd have to refill with gas/petrol over that distance as well, but the difference between 10 minutes verses an hour or so unless I'm really missing both the range and time to recharge for EVs.
