Apart from others' comments that paying for energy consumed is fine... are you sure about that? Looking at the US EPA highway range for the 90D, they give it 303 miles. That's close to 500 km. So, a little bit of a top-up en route [*] gets you to your destination. If you have charging at your destination, that takes you home.1000miles a yer is peanuts.
I live in Europe and have to travel on bi-wekley basis one way 500km, I am never going to make that without superchargers.
And as we all know, the 100D will be along presently, which will obviously net out at well over 500 km EPA highway, so then you wouldn't need a stop at all. (541 km if we scale the 90D number up by 11%.)
[*] Top-up can be Supercharger or not, you only need to add a few km, so even L2 would probably be OK, or if you Supercharge assuming you take what you need to reach your destination with a reasonable buffer that's just a few kWh so your 400 kWh are going to last for many trips.
