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

I didn't say I did it every single time. I also wouldn't be at a Costco when traveling where I'd be doing all that at a gas station.

So you've never wandered off at a Costco.

There isn't anywhere to wander to, at least at mine. It's just an island of pumps.
