I wouldn't describe the 238 miles as a "limit", only a guide. With a light foot, you may be able to coax 300 miles out of the car, while others that drive in cold winters, or at 90MPH will get less. Sometimes though, it isn't only about how far you can go, but also how long you're able to wait to recharge. Fast charging mitigates that, though there could be times it isn't available, so you plug into level 1 or 2 charging that takes a lot longer. For that reason, I bought an EVSE which is portable, that uses a 14-50 plug that is commonly found at RV parks and campgrounds. If your vacation spot is a campground, I'd highly recommend bringing one along.
At some point, EV's need to stand on their own four wheels, without a government subsidy. Regardless if you're red or blue, I think Uncle Sam would be better off shifting the burden of those subsidies onto the manufacturers that continue to sell highly profitable 3-ton monstrosities like the Nissan Armada.
