No charging at my destination. Closest Supercharger is 30 miles away.

Point is, more range solves these concerns.

Then that's going to be a problem even with 400 miles of range.

Back when I had diesel trucks I thought it was bad enough driving all over in a strange town and going several miles out of my way to hunt down diesel fuel.

Can't imagine driving 30 miles to juice up(while on vacation). Lol

But, just like cable tv, the ev infrastructure will eventually get to the most remote places someday.

I thought you have access to level 2 charging at this location?

But so can experience. You're planning this trip using a large, relatively unaerodynamic and relatively inefficient vehicle. Which is all fine, as it's still a great EV. But experience will tell you that if you are going for max range the trick is to find the sweet spot between range and speed. The Vistiq is actually quite good, but it's still going to have to overcome aerodynamic drag that squares with speed. So you might find lowering planned speed just a few MPH will actually get you to your destination faster because it will give you the efficiency boost that saves or shortens stops.

overall, I reckon you'd get this to work the way you want it to. But do be careful with apps like ABRP because it is set up out of the box to deliver an almost worst-case result.
