While I do agree that it is
While I do agree that it is valid to show that you need to do more planning and the EVs aren't as convenient, I'm not sure there is all that much more to do...
I mean, when we get ready for any longer trips, we plan. We choose a route (direct or scenic? want to stop at a particular place(s) on the way?), pick a hotel, sometimes a place to eat.
The only difference with an EV is that you are also adding a place(s) to charge.
Is it more planning? Yes. Is it much more? I don't think so...
I am guessing they chose the more complicated route for one of two reasons (or both). To show the more extreme problems you can have, which is fair, but it would have been nice to point out that it can also be much easier. Or, because he was planning with an EVGo person who didn't want to use the Electrify America chargers. ;-)
I get the concept, but I think it's another example of showing the extreme to prove your point.
I think a balanced article, showing both sides, would still have gotten the point across.
