A solution to this would be an extra expansion battery that you could buy or rent as an add-on only when needed.

...or rent a vehicle with the fuel savings from driving your EV most of the year, and skip putting a couple thousand km on your car over a long weekend.

You still pay the cost of driving a car a couple thousand km though, right?
