Our elec supplier, Idaho Power, has a tiered rate system, kind of like the tax brackets. The more you use, the higher the rate. If we start charging cars from the grid, the rates will be higher. The time of day doesn't matter.
A 280 mile range is iffy in the big west. Who wants to stop for a few hours in Bliss, ID or Burns, OR while the battery charges? No way would I take off in one toward Reno from here. If you guess wrong, it's an expensive tow job.
