tbh i'd use an electric as a daily
but for a roadtrip, sticking to gas

My experience is that for anything up to 500km in a go electric is superior, for longer trips ICE and electric are about the same.
Then again, I live in mountainous and fjord-riddled landscape where the overall average speed of travel for my last 600km round trip was a piddly 67km/h, so taking a couple of rest stops for charging, coffee refill and urinating along the way is natural.
Seeing as gasoline is at just under 2.20€/L 9$/Gal. these days, electric becomes a lot more attractive as well.

Hotel parking is quite shit tbh, with massive variations of course.
Last time I was in Alta for business the hotel I stayed at had 3kW slow charging on 15 spots included in the parking fee for example, and two gas stations with fast chargers within a km and a tesla super charger a bit further out, and probably more public charging that I didn't notice as I was driving a diesel at the time.
OTOH a couple of my local supermarkets have free parking spots with 7.2kW chargers, but you can only park for an hour.

We're not lucky with the charging stations, it is a conscious effort to provide infrastructure that isn't being actively obstructed by crusty oil-money funded conservative pillocks.

Over eight actually. And it varies regionally and by the day with swings of up to 35%

Edit: bad mental arithmetic

A thing you have to realise about Australia is that the overwhelming majority of our culture and media is "right" leaning and americans cherrypick things to accuse us of being leftists
