I guess everyone is (way) different. I've done 1200 miles in a day a couple times, and 800+ in a day many times. I guess I wouldn't recommend it, but it certainly wasn't in any way dangerous. If I limited myself to four hours behind the wheel I'd have to start buying more PTO
For daily driving, 100 miles of nominal range is sufficient, assuming the usual degradation of batteries in extremely cold or hot weather, plus having a buffer for extra unplanned stops. But given the cost of these things, it's going to have to replace something in the lineup and do all of the things that the car it replaced can do. That includes doing 250-mile roadtrips in one shot. An EV with a 250 mile nominal range can't do that - there's no safety buffer. 250 is already the low end of usability for us - it's 300 miles to Marisa's parents' place. And yeah, I'm going to drive 75-80.
