I take road trips in my EV. It’s fine. You get to pee and walk the dog. The extra time isn’t much and it’s actually way more relaxing

It’s weird how defensive people get over their cannonball road trips. It’s great to take a few minutes on a break while taking a long trip.

Hell, my ICE car warns me when I’ve been driving for too long. Taking a break mid-trip isn’t isolated to EVs
