I'd rather match content than context...
The thing is, Tony long ago produced a range chart for the RAV4, a car that's been out of production for years, and only 2,600 were built, a number that's undoubtedly reduced due to attrition. The Bolt's already sold around 3 times that amount, and no one (to my knowledge) has yet produced such a chart for it. So, the reason (my reason, anyway) for providing links to longer road trips isn't to show that such impractical trips can be done, it's to provide some real world range info under a variety of conditions on the various legs. The fact that these legs are often done as part of a 'BEV adventure' which is an inefficient use of most people's time is irrelevant; the data matters, not the fact that person X had the time to waste to make the trip.
We know that such trips can be made, just as we know someone could ride a skateboard or push scooter across the country, but given the alternatives very few people would consider that an efficient use of their time or energy, if their primary interest is to get to their destination in the shortest time possible, with the maximum flexibility and convenience. In any case, moving on.
