If you have access to electricity.

And how often do you drive further than 500 km in a day?

Not infrequently. Even more often, I drive more than that across a
couple of days with no access to electricity overnight.

So you will juts have to put up with running costs 3-10 times higher
han a battery car in a few years time.

Or a whole new industry will be born (as in the days of horses) where
pre-charged 'staging' cars will be available for long distance
travellers.

A company requiring staff to travel would simply have an account with
them (instead of a fleet of company cars). Easy peasy.

Or perhaps pay their staff to take the train.

Yes but then existing infrastructure (the motorway network) would become
somewhat redundant or only used by the long distance hauliers which
would still be polluting and emitting diesel lorries. Better to get
freight back onto the railways and leave the motorways clear for light
electric cars.

Of course salesmen and the like might have to get used to not having
their own personal company car perk, but that's their tough luck.
Trouble is elfin safetey wont let you run a continous nose to tail train
at 56mph from london to birmimngham like the M1 is.

Yu get more bang for the buck with roads. And more accidents.
