Yeah I often drive over 1000 miles in a day, sometimes as much as 1600+ so this is the only way I'd consider electric. Although it sounds like at a high speed supercharger it would be more expensive than regular gasoline. At least there's progress.

If you average 60 miles per hour, then 1000 miles would take you 16 hours. There is not way you are regularly doing that. It's not taking into account gassing up, breaks to get food.

This is totally possible. Maybe not for 1600 miles but 1000 for sure. I do this for 500-800 miles regularly. Sometimes 1000+. Speed limit is 70mph on most US highways and the unspoken agreement is you can go 8 or 9 over and not get pulled over. In metropolitan areas you can typically go even faster on the beltway, almost everyone does. You train yourself not to need to piss as often, so you piss while you gas up. You don't eat until your drive is done.
