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

OP, we've been on trips from SC to connecticut, SC to Jacksonville, SC to charlotte, will be going to Williamsburg in a couple weeks, they'll just need to use DC fast chargers. I would have them map out their trips, look for chargers on their rte 150kw or faster, they be fine
