For use in the US, part of the issue is not just driving range, but the time it takes to recharge if you need to go beyond a single charge range. For RV's, that seems like it would be a serious consideration. Tesla takes 3.5 to 4 hours for a full charge. For me that is prohibitive. The hydrogen/electric seems to be a more functional technology to me.
Hmmm. Maybe at a level 2 or home station but I believe an empty Tesla to 80 percent takes 30 minutes and nobody ever Arrives empty. Non Tesla EV's like a Nissan leaf, BMW, i3 etc are about the same when the use a DCFC (DC fast charge). DC fast chargers are springing up more and more.
But yah, cross country at this point might be better with a hybrid or ICE vehicle at this point. Having said that for many like us any thing over 100 miles is a complete waste of battery capacity. A lot depends on where you live and your personal needs.
