Especially when a trip like a 400 mile one is easily doable with just a ten minute “stretch your legs” snack stop to top off a bit of battery in most EVs today.
It’s a trade off, but hardly unusable range in EVs today for vast majority.

Good points
And I make the NY trip twice a year. But… I travel to Canada more often and wouldn’t think of taking an EV yet.
