Extreme over predicted range!

So, the take-away...
Drive as fast as permitted/weather conditions allow, will save total trip time, but add cost.
1. assumes chargers available along the route, within the range of the EV.
2. select faster chargers over slower available along the route when both are present.

For long trips - do you guys pick times and places for meal stops = longer charging at those stops, then shorter 'breaks' inbetween for bathroom break/coffee while charging 15-20 minutes and back on the road, overnight stop at hotel with L2 charging for next day 100% soc to start off the trip again?

My wife likes to start early and then stop to eat breakfast a couple hours later. Then drive and short-stop until lunch time where we stop for at least 30-35 minutes about while we charge all we can get. More short-stops after lunch time. Then stop for the night and have 'late supper' ie about 7-8pm but chill, do shopping rest and go to bed early while the truck charges at a hotel - typically L2 charging over night.
The problem being hotels typically have very few chargers and you don't know ahead of time you will get a charger or they will be all taken.

Wondering what others do when planning a longer trip?
