I just drove our 2019 Hyundai Kona electric from Northampton, Massachusetts to Boston and back. It's a 2-hour drive each way.
I left Northampton with 90% charge. In the pleasant weather we've been having lately, this was enough charge to go to Boston and halfway back. Then I charged for 30-40 minutes (not sure precisely) and returned to Northampton with 71% charge.
This car charges slowly on road trips, by the standards of EV's today. However, it's small and super-efficient, and has a smaller battery. Hence on a time-per-mile-gained basis, it's not as much slower as one might think.
Furthermore, there are old chargers here and there which are priced lower because people with modern fast-charging cars will prefer modern faster chargers. My car is indifferent, as it can't take advantage of the higher charging speed. So more chargers for me!
There is still virtue in small and efficient, even if it's out of date.
