I desperately want to buy an electric car for my regular-ish long distance trips to visit family. I was even going to pay for the family member I stay with to get a charging station in their garage.

Unfortunately, the trip is at best 30 miles out of range for the vehicles I have looked into, and there really aren't any reasonable charging options along the route (and fast charging will still take quite some time to get the extra range). It's a five hour drive straight through already and I don't really relish the thought of adding even more time to it by stopping (I rarely have to stop).

I make the trip seven or eight times a year, so it's worth having a car for.
