Of what exactly? :rolleyes:

I've noticed that charger availability on my route has doubled since my last trip. More chargers at each services, at supermarkets and in isolated places. Even the France-Spain border gap seems to have better availability developing.

At only £5 for a CritAir sticker still needed in 3 French cities and in Geneva even if this bill is passed, I wouldn't take the risk tbh.

Well, anyway, my 5th trip is coming up soon. No new records, no new countries, jut a new route via France visiting more new places. Adding 2k to my current 10156 miles in the MG5 abroad, but still not expected to reach 1st place this year, maybe in 2026 on trip 6. This time, none of my stays...

On long haul, I vary my speed based on the length between chargers, charging / break time at the next stop. A long gap with unreliable chargers at the end is usually 60-65 mph; a normal gap with good chargers at the end & maybe a longer break for lunch will be 70-75 mph and the last stint to a...
