As long as there is a way of charging every 200 or so miles, you're probably fine.... If you're in Tesla or once the network is opened up enough. Otherwise you're probably stuck or at least having a shit experience
This video is worth a watch. Robert does the same trip in a Polestar 2 and a Tesla. The experience was very different between the two: https://youtu.be/92w5doU68D8
Tweet from the same guy who highlights your concern: https://twitter.com/AgingWheels/status/1722858752569651540 ... Unless you're in a Tesla: https://twitter.com/AgingWheels/status/1723001588388704427
If you're genuinely interested there are plenty of apps which show the chargers and you can see how it works for your routes.
Sadly Tesla is simply head and shoulders above the competition at the moment. So if you just don't like Teslas then it's probably best to wait for a bit and see how it plays out. Although they are gradually opening the network to non Tesla cars.
