Two clarifications: 1. When I said "DC charge is a must" I meant of course a DC charge port (socket). The contraption itself is not something private people buy, rather it's like an EV gas station pump.
2. Of course, if you charge to 100% then your single-drive range might be close to 80 miles with A/C and 100 miles without it. So if you have these >60 no-charge mile days only once in a while (I dunno, 2 per month or less), it's not a problem. However, if they happen very often you'll end up needing to charge to 100% very often and that might deplete your battery faster.
