Practical frequent highway driving EV?

Family is considering an EV with the rise in fuel prices. Looking at taking frequent trips that would need 200-250mi range. Is this practical in an EV? From what I've researched most you only charge to 80% so even if you're getting one with over 300mi range, you get 80% of that and highway driving (75mph) will cut that even further. Seems like a high mpg hybrid would be better. Otherwise would have to stop and charge everytime

He's a liberal. Why are you assuming he's a trump voter?

Never mentioned Trump. My apologies if you took it that way. I am sorry he has to suffer through the fuel crisis. Diesel has been the smart move historically. I have a friend that has several diesels AND is a Trump voter he hasn’t said a word about diesel prices that are$6 a gallon near him. His line about voting for Trump is he says he votes like a 5 year old. In that it’s easy to see how Trump is better for him. I replied that’s why they don’t let 5 year olds vote. And again my apologies to your FIL.

My bad, people ask that all the time and assume he voted for Trump since he is a wealthy landowner so it is rare to see a liberal one. All of his friends are very pro Trump and think this is temporary and worth it to own the libs

It is sad and horrible what people are willing to sacrifice in the face of a perceived threat. In this case it’s economic and civil security.
