@EV-offroad You are right in that many of us want to travel large distances and for some of us that is the norm. You are in Maryland a very very tiny place, last weekend I went for a short overnight trip with my Land Rover group we traveled about 110 miles to the trailhead for our meetup point - and there was a single level 2 charger there. Although there were DC3 chargers about 15 minutes away prior via highway. The trip itself was very short if muddy so ideal for EV SUV other than 1 creek crossing. That was more potential to hit the battery than really difficult.
Now contrast that with my normal day trip, leaving home and traveling up Harrison Lake to Boston bar and home. The offroad bit is about 270 km/ 170 miles km not difficult generally, and there is EV DC2 charger at Boston Bar (finally) . But I only have to worry about gas , my truck gets about 460 to a tank and I can carry spare if I want to poke around the various offshoot roads. The problem with EV's currently is everything is wrapped up in charging station locations and charging times.
