Range really isn't a big deal. Pretty much any car will get you from one charger to the next, the question is how long you'll have to wait to charge. On most cars, 30 minutes of charging will give you a couple hours of driving. Keeping in mind that you can leave home on a full charge and arrive at your destination on nearly nothing, charging overnight, it's not bad at all.
Oh, and check Plugshare. You'd be surprised how many DC fast chargers are out there. You've probably passed by some and not even noticed. There are a few deserts out there (looking at you, Wyoming) but they're building up FAST. A year ago there was a 135-mile stretch kinda near me without anything along the way. Now there are two on that stretch.
