I think you are right when it comes to hotels. Most are business class hotels like best western, holiday inn, etc. Seem to be around that 105 dollar with breakfast affair.
Long range is certainly being done regularly and not by people proving it can be done. Superchargers and DC fast chargers are quite often but not always located to places like Starbucks, Walmart etc. A 400 mile trip really takes no longer in an EV than a gas car for most who take a lunch break and the occasional pee or walk the chihuahua break.
The problem, and it’s getting worse by the day as more people buy EV’s, is that the hotel has maybe 4 charging stations, first come first served, ditto the restaurants.
A friend thought he had it all worked out to drive his Tesla to Florida for the winter.
It turned into a huge fiasco and took more than double, nearly triple the time he estimated it would.
Charging stations were full, broken, hooligans unplugging his car at night in the hotel parking lot, etc., etc.
