The length of his trip should be roughly the reasonable minimum range for a new EV in 2023. Plus add in a charge port that isn't chademo, and this trip would probably be a lot easier on more modern tech.
I think range should start at 250 miles, while that wouldn't've gotten him there, it certainly would've taken some of the pressure off, as he has the big battery, and that has 220 on a good day. I'm actually looking at getting a Bolt for work, a little smaller than I want, but the price is right, the room is enough, range is enough. I'd buy a van, but that market is being ignored for some reason.

Problem is those are all full sized, I need something more minivan sized. Canoo is supposedly bringing one out, but they're two years behind schedule, and retail production looks far off if it even happens (they owe a ton of vans to corporations).
