Cornwall to Aberdeen is 700 miles, you’d only have to stop to charge 4 times even with a 200 mile range. You’re probably stopping more than that to take a piss. And I can’t imagine too many people are making that journey.

Taking a piss and grabbing snacks for an entire family is 5-10 minutes and gas. Not 30 for a full recharge. Or an hour if the supercharger isn’t available.
