EDIT: I just checked a couple trips I regularly do and we seem to stop every 200-250 km for bathroom breaks, snacks, stretching, etc. When I was younger and didn't feel like I needed to stop as much, I stopped every 300-350 km. For example, a Calgary to Winnipeg trip I used to do more regularly had stops like this:
- Medicine Hat (300 km)
- Swift Current (220 km)
- Regina (240 km)
- Virden (290 km)
- Winnipeg (290 km)

If I'm going to the coast I usually stop for quick bathroom breaks at the pull outs, but I'm not there more than 5 minutes. I'll stop for 30 minutes in Revelstoke for lunch and gas. Another 30 minute stop in Hope. So stopping every 200km after the leg to Revelstoke for 30 minutes would be really annoying.
I know it's not an issue most of the time, I'm just thinking general public and perception. No one is going to be happy about taking a road trip like that, particularly if you start having charging issues, or have to wait in line for 30 minutes every time.
