Good to see a nice family road trip vacation (plenty done when I was a kid). Crazy the amount of time spent waiting for charging. Definitely seems a pain, and I’d definitely rather keep the EV for local use, and have an ICE for long distance road trips. On a long road trip, time is more valuable than fuel so I’d rather pay to enjoy the drive and destinations than wait around a parking lot (not a criticism of you, just the current practice needed with EVs). My 4Runner isn’t efficient on fuel, but I don’t have range anxiety and it doesn’t define my trip. Plus I have extra fuel I carry on the sides (mostly for off-road trips as we camp and travel away from cities). Good to see your weather seemed to be mostly favourable.
