You need breaks anyway. You only lose time when you need more charge than you need for your own convenience.
So you can charge your EV in 15 minutes?

want a trailer on a road trip. I have taken a road trip with a motorbike on a trailer. It tired the hell out of me.
Practically it will reduce your options for parking and the speed you're allowed to travel at: 130 km/h without, 80 with a trailer.
Only if you travel in states or countries with really stupid traffic laws :-) Forcing vehicles to travel at different speeds is about the worst thing you can do for road safety.

As for pulling a trailer tiring you out, perhaps there was a mechanical problem with the trailer? I've driven a good many miles pulling trailers (including some with a motorcycle pulling the trailer), and my only problem was occasionally forgetting it was there.
