I found out first hand what range anxiety is like. It sucks. The EV is great for a daily driver if you have the fast charger at home to plug in every night, but traveling with it and deviating off the interstate is nerve wracking

Yep.  I will not take my EV to the ski resort.

I also want to say, other than a few outliers, there's not really a huge surprise in the results.

I'm renting a car for Spring Break in Los Angeles with my kids, and Avis had a lot of EV's available.  I'm sure the hotels have plenty of chargers available, but having zero experience with EV's I passed. 

It's a great car. If you search the area you're going to be in and there's a lot of Tesla superchargers then it isn't bad. Or if your hotel has a quick charge station comped for guests.
