Many of the backroads I travel to are not close to chargers and some even go through the mountains and wooded areas towards and in Pennsylvania and are about an hour to two or more out from my house with decent miles. I would be worried to drive a Taycan how I drive my other vehicles through those roads purely just because its hard to predict range and charging availability.
And the Porsche charging infrastructure isn't like Tesla's. I think the closest available Porsche charge was like 50 miles away. There are multiple Tesla stations in the vicinity even though it's out in the boonies.
