The EVs I know of can easily do all that as a first and only car. You seem to be restricting yourself to the worst EVs you can think of. Bye now.

Yes, if you dont mind stopping for 40 minute recharges twice on a trip to nana's, they can. Lots of people find that extremely annoying, especially when the charging infrastructure anywhere off the main routes in Canada is dicey and careful trip planning becomes a necessity in case a charger is down, or its not one that takes your payment system.

EVs are good for commuting, they're clearly and obviously NOT ideal for road trips/vacationing which is why people still post "Hey look I made it all the way to Newfoundland and back with my EV" in 2026 because thats literally a feat of courage, determination and planning. Some of us just like to drive and enjoy the view and not worry about how to refuel :)
