See my post #28 with real world charging numbers. I got the 10-15 minute charging stops every 200 miles on my last long trip I made in the EV (1,700 miles, all but 2 charging stops were 10-15 minutes while I used the restroom anyway, and one of the charging stops took longer because I wanted to be out of the car for a while and walk around and get a bite to eat, so I charged it to 100%, which takes longer because it charges way slower beyond 85%).
But, and this is important, you must do your homework before getting an EV. The 1,700 mile trip I sometimes take has plenty of fast chargers. Your trips may not have many fast charges. If we were to go on a trip without fast chargers we would have taken our gas pickup. And don't try to make a trip like that up north during the winter. We did our homework. For my wife and me the trips are conducive for EV's (in the south, never up north during the winter, all trips we usually take have plenty of fast charging options). So far in the 3 years we've owned the EV, we've never had to take the gas pickup. But we did our homework before getting the EV. If most of the trips you take aren't like that (and the EV would be the newer car and thus the one you'd want to take on trips), don't get an EV.
And don't get an EV unless you can set up charging at home and do lots of local driving. The gas savings is real, but only on local driving (fast charging on the highway can cost almost as much as filling up with gas). And the gas savings is real only if you drive tons of miles locally (IMHO the threshold is about 12K miles, we drive 18K miles per year home charged miles). An EV is very much a special case situation. Bonus points if you have a bit of a prepper mindset and can set up home solar (if the Dims make gasoline hard to come by again or too expensive again, they can't stop my local driving in my EV).

Yes, that’s a very important requirement. Lots of charging stations if you have shorter range.
And thanks for sharing your experience. My wife is looking for a new car and trying to decide between all electric or plug in hybrid. She mostly just drives around town.
