I think the issue I'd personally have is more what I'd do when I stop rather than where I'd stop.
If your charging coincides with as minimal bathroom break and a sit down meal, shower, nap in car etc. then you can probably just Leroy Jenkins it down no problem. The city size isn't an issue and it doesn't really matter. Or maybe you have a small folding bike in your trunk that you'd hop on to explore around while the vehicle charges?
I'm wondering if you wouldn't be as tired as you think if you could rely on autopilot to reduce fatigue during the trip.
I think it might be interesting to do a combination of scenic and marathon. I'd also consider hitting as many unique states checklist style for bragging rights. A path something like Alberta, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, BC, Alberta... but I don't know if you have the time to do that or if it's beyond the scope of something you'd even be interested in.

I would bring a full size gravel bike in the trunk
I like how you term it a Leroy Jenkins. I've never driven 25 hours nonstop but assuming that I could get enough REM sleep from 40 minute charge stops it may be possible! I'm more in it for the challenge like a classic Top Gear challenge rather than a tourist thing. I don't think traveling down middle America is very scenic anyway. It's highways and small towns.
I hate tourist things, thats why I'm thinking I'll drive my own car down and bike around the Nevada area rather than hang out in Vegas resorts if I have to be down there.
