When I'm driving long distance, my goal is to keep stops to a minimum, both number of stops and duration of stops. Stop for gas just off interstate, many gas stations with either integrated fast food or "shops". I can usually average 65-70mph INCLUDING stops over a 12-13 hour trip by doing so. Stopping for sit down meals cuts that WAY down. A 20 minutes break every two hours would add almost two hours to the trip. No thank you. YMMV (literally).
I wish I have your stamina. I don't even drive the way you do with an ICE car. Besides, I have my two kids with me on the road trip. They are getting better now as they get older. Once I had to drive them from Denver CO to North NJ. That route took us 6 days because they were only 1 and 5 yo.
