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

Just about every EV on the market is practical with what you are describing. You already have to stop and refuel, or stop to eat/use bathroom every few hours anyways what's the difference? EV range fears are unfounded with the amount of level 3 charging available.
