Assuming OP has a Ford Mustang Mach-E, RWD, Long Range model, you might expect:

  286 miles at 70 MPH
  249 miles at 75 MPH
  232 miles at 75 MPH with 2kW of heating

...that model seems to take about 45 minutes to charge from 10-80%:

I tend to get better range than that, I'd like to claim it is my driving style, but more realistically it is because I live in Southern California so the battery is generally at ideal temperature, I often don't need heat/AC, and probably most importantly I'm not sure if I have ever driven 70+ mph for 300 consecutive miles without hitting traffic.

Also when I do road trips, I'll tend to do multiple shorter stops which according to that link means I'm closer to the "optimum charging area" than going 10%-80% in one sitting, so that might have caused me to overshoot that estimate a little.

So beyond that slight amendment of switching that one ~30 minute charging stop to two ~15 minute stops, the answer to ketzo's question is "yes, really", but as the saying goes, your mileage may vary.
