Glad to hear it can be done in non-teslas. I recently did a Seattle to salt lake back to Seattle trip, about 12 hours for each leg. All in all worked out pretty well. Every time I had to stop it was perfect for pee breaks or grabbing a snack, and we never had to wait much longer than however long that took. Definitely not as convenient as just getting gas but certainly doable.
Leaf's are prolly the hardest to do it in, IIRC the battery tech is a bit outdated, plus it uses Japan's ChaDEmo charging standard so there are far fewer fast chargers to use. It'll get easier if'n one of the truck stop... sorry, travel stop centers adds chargers to all their stores, since they usually have a restaurant there. Might need a bit more range to make the timing perfect, but it should work out well for needing a charge about the time you should be taking a break.
