Something like the XPENG G6 comes to mind.
On a ~680km trip you can make 2 short charging stops (13 minutes each) and arrive with 60% battery (>250km range).
Although I'd challenge the assumption about having to have 250km left at your destination. Just plug it into an AC charger or even just a standard AC house plug at 2,3 kW. Idle time is free charging time.
So you could actually make that trip with two short stops under 10 minutes each.
Caveat: there have to be ≥350 kW chargers available along your route
yeah I'm thinking of backcountry trips where I have to drive 1.5 hours out afterwards before I reach any gas station, and there is no charging available where I'm parked for a few days.
