Your comment was written by someone who doesn’t understand that they’re putting their children’s lives at risk. If you’re on a long road trip, and you’re not stopping for 20-30 minutes every few hundred miles, you are a reckless driver. You might as well be driving drunk. The maximum range of modern EVs is already the range where you need to stop on a road trip and take 20-30 minutes to get a proper sit down meal or take other breaks of similar length. Rest is important while driving, and that doesn’t just mean getting a good night sleep.
If you’re taking your kids on a road trip, and you aren’t taking the length of stops needed for an EV trip, your kids should be taken from you, as you’re putting their lives in danger just to arrive at your motel 20 minutes sooner.
Hey there! Without being overly hostile, could you provide some citation? I’m interested to see the information as I’ve never heard this before. I do know there are laws in place for CDL drivers that are similar, especially for overnight, but nothing about ‘every few hundred miles’. This isn’t to say the law doesn’t exist, I just haven’t heard of it. Also I feel you may have missed the original commenters sarcasm.
Firstly, you’re replying to an obvious joke. Secondly, just because an ICE driver can choose where their longer stops are because the refuel stops are short and infrequent, doesn’t mean they don’t do proper stops.
Thirdly, unless your EV is fairly new, 20-30 min doesn’t give you much range at all. 20 year old diesel car with a decent sized tank will get you 1000 miles of range in 2 minutes. After that, YOU decide where to stop and eat, rather than charger availability and remaining range deciding for you.

2 hours then take a break.
Thank you much!
