This now gets into human limitations. If you're doing straight 500 miles without a break, you are running into safety issues. You need a break. Both for your own health--sitting that long is not good--and for others--your attention is not holding up.

In other words, a 350 mile EV that needs 20-30 minutes to charge is forcing you to do what you're supposed to be doing anyway.

Not really. It's pretty easy for two drivers to take turns, you just pull off to the side, swap spots, and then keep going.
