I upvoted for the rental suggestion. So many people get stuck on edge cases, like an annual road trip, that they lose sight of the (immense) daily benefits.
For most people, you'll actually come out ahead by buying an EV for daily life, and renting a gas car for the week of your trip. Plus, you can get a rental that holds all of your passengers/cargo much better than your daily driver.
