Re: "simple but elegant"
I have had to make large detours to be able to tank up my Mini (real one, not the new BMW) in the past while camping. I also have to make detours regularly to tank up my current car, as there are no fuel stations directly on my regular commute.
In the end, as long as you are able to charge overnight at home, you will probably still save time overall having an EV compared to a dinosaur-juice vehicle. I worked out that it adds around 15mins on to my commute to tank up. If I have to do that every other week, that's over 6 hours in a year saved by charging at home. Let's say I do 2 holidays a year which each require 2 20min fast charges en-route (and I wouldn't have had to stop anyway), that would give me over 4 hours of time available for detours to find chargers....
