Ehh, i dont really see a problem driving that long as long as you start it when you first get up for the day. I do 8 hour drives multiple times a year to go see family and only stop after 6 hours to gas up, then continue on. With how quick gasing up is with paying at the pump these days, 3 minutes of stop doesn't sound to far fetched.
As I said to the other commenter, if you get a weekend of free time that you want to burn down, I highly encourage you to try doing a trip in a Model 3 (if you’re in the US, I absolutely cannot recommend CCS infrastructure right now). I think you’d be surprised how much of a non-issue it can be if you build any form of food break in the trip, whether it’s driving -> breakfast -> driving or whatnot.
I live in canada, and the charging infrastructure is very bad here. In fact, my usual drive probably isn't even possible in the winter due to a lack of charging points with how little range the cars have in winter here.
You win :)
Canada has a ways to go with charging before I can proselytize about EVs.
