I did my first very long trip in my EV after 2 years and 20,000 miles in April, went from Aberdeen to Dover and back, 1250 miles all in, charged 3 times on the way down, 3 on the way back. Went down the A1 there and M6 back (just for a change – we usually do M6 both ways).
Trip was a doddle, no issues, not stuck or had any range anxiety issues, took 30 minutes longer than our average on the way down (been doing the trip to father -in-law for 18 years, don’t need sat nav anymore). Mostly, I think, as we were going a bit slower, indicated 72 (real 70) instead of indicated 77.
Stops were all around 30-35 minutes and the Kia Soul is not fast on the charger, maxing out at 77kw and not the 125kw+ of more modern EVs. Only downside was the cost, most rapids being 70p odds per Kw, but then, my home charging is 7.5p/kw, so the odd expensive long trip away is not really an issue at all when a 250 mile top up is under £5.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
