Well, from a purely 'distance covering' point of view, clearly a liquid fuel car would win because of faster refueling, higher range and speed limits.

I was more thinking of a road trip article, where the travel itself is the focus of the article. Is the car comfortable on long trips? Are the superchargers always easy to find? What sort of characters and people do you meet at supercharger stations? Did the forced longer stops make the journey better or worse?

It's a big difference to 'who got there faster'. That would be a foregone conclusion.
