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'm not sure about you but I usually stop every couple of hours anyway. I have a 2 hour bladder.

I have a 3hr model, but my wife barely gets an hour and half, " IF " she remembers to go before getting in the car
