    Like @ayyy@sh.itjust.works said, I work 5 days. This road trip is a thousand miles, at least; I have done it in a single stretch, but that would be even less possible in an EV just because of the increased charge times. I do it in two days now, which means a stop every ~250 miles, and I like a healthy ~50 mile margin of error because I don’t wanna get stranded in the desert if the battery capacity dropped without my noticing somehow.

    So, four stops over two days - that’s reasonable, that’s what I’ve got with my gas car which gets me there Sunday evening if I leave Saturday morning, in time to start work Monday. More stops means I get in later and have less time to get settled, or maybe I can’t make the trip in two days at all, so no trip.
