Hi MFillingham. Interesting to know about the Soul speed issues – it was a car I looked at – the Kona was a better deal on Motability so clinched the deal. Which services around Exeter would you recommend – my journey is from Surrey to west Cornwall to visit my son – so was looking at a top up at Exeter or maybe even Cornwall services or somewhere along the A30. Sigma it was on the Kia website I looked.
Most cars suffer, to some extent, with speed effecting range. The less streamlined cars, like the Soul and ZS can be hit harder. The older Soul, which only had 120 miles, would suffer noticeably, I’d guess a 250 mile car would still suffer but maybe less noticeably unless you’re stretching towards max range.
I usually stop at Exeter services but I’ve always stopped there, even in a diesel. Cornwall Service will have a hub, which will be delightful but isn’t working yet. Depending on just how far you’re coming down, there’s 2 rapids just off the A30 at Pool at the Copper Coast pub and just around the corner at MacDonalds there’s brand new rapids waiting to come into service. I’d check the usual apps around Exeter if you’re not a service station type of guy but there’s been a huge investment there and a huge row of chargers. Then you can have a boost around the Camborne/Redruth area on one of 5 rapids that are in various places there before heading home.

I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
