Well, generally speaking you're probably in the minority. Most people probably drive much less than 300 miles in a day on average. But, in reality, electric vehicles are still mostly a niche market, with commuter and urban vehicles mostly making up the numbers.
We spent the winter going from Michigan to Utah to S. Cal to South Texas to Florida to Michigan.
We had all of one day in excess of 250 miles.
Neither you nor I are typical.
Yep. That's how normal people travel. Rushing to get somewhere 1,000 miles away is senseless. 250 miles is plenty. Even if you drove 500 miles a day, you only need 2-20 minute fast charges.
Many people simply don't agree with your estimation that 250 miles is plenty. I didn't until I got old, when I was younger my days of traveling with the trailer in tow were on the order of 500-600 miles until I got to my destination. Even my motorcycle traveling days were 350-400 miles/day. 3 weeks and 6500 miles were "normal" for me. "Normal"? It was for me at the time, and quite a few other people that I knew also traveled pretty much the same way.
