I think most of the regulations for truckers here in the US were made in mind with how long the distance is between everything.

As far as driving my EV goes, ideally I would like to get 3-4 driving hours in before recharges, but only when the drive is longer than 6 hours total. I'd rather just get there sooner. I currently drive a Bolt EUV and it's an hour charging for every 2-3 driving. Longer road trips take some planning especially when driving across middle America where the charging network isn't that great yet. Meals are easy, but in between meals planning an hour long stop can be challenging.
