Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with an EV in a long road trip?

I have always been concerned about recharging. The fast chargers take 15-60 minutes so, if there were two cars ahead of you, it could take 3 hours to charge!
Another thing to remember about an EV is that the current spate of batteries have a life of about 5-6 years. So, in addition for paying extra to get an EV, you also have the privilege of spending $25K (that's right $25,000) to replace your battery every 5-6 years...
