You don't need all the extra range if you have charging network coverage to bail you out, though. If you could just stop for 20 minutes and add two hundred miles whenever you needed to, then you only need the range to cover your regular travel. 350 miles should be fine.

My company probably won't be a fan of paying for me to sit around for 20 minutes waiting for a charge when I should be working

I can't imagine twenty minutes once a week being a huge deal.
