Newer EVs use NACS, which opens up a huge number of fast DC chargers all across the interstate system. Unfortunately those chargers are almost all Tesla superchargers, and we all wish there was a less musky alternative out there.

I've taken a road trip in the new NIssan Leaf, which has NACS. It wasn't bad; we had to stop for ~30 minutes every ~300 miles, which lines up with just about how often my aging body needs to go pee these days...

Because much of the stated reason for EVs is the money you'll save on fuel and maintenance costs, so spending extra money on something you'll use once per year doesn't fit the money saving narrative.

Ultimately, what I and the other commenter is saying is a once a year "need" really isn't a need at all. To further my example, if I lived in the snow or traveled there regularly, then AWD is likely a reasonable expense, but if very rarely used it would make more sense to rent/borrow. Same goes for a truck (for hauling), or gasoline car for the range.

I drive an EV now and my next car will likely be an ICE AWD vehicle. But I'm also aware that it's not the most economically sound decision and I'd be buying it for fun. Under no circumstances would I be justifying it by the longer range (which I very seldom need) or to travel to the snow.
