    What's your longest journey in your EV? How many charging stops?

    One of, if not the longest EV trips I’ve made was to play a show in Harrogate, North Yorkshire a couple of years ago. I live in Kent so it’s about a 500-mile round trip. I had an i3 at the time, which was good for about 100 motorway miles on one charge. Looking back, apparently I stopped twice...

    Ecotricity rapid charging customer satisfaction poll - share your experiences

    I voted 'poor'. I have not yet used Ecotricity in my MG5. I play drums and prior to Covid I used to go up and down the country most weekends in my previous car (an i3) to play shows. The 94Ah i3 will only cover 100-120 miles on the motorway so I got very familiar with public rapid charging...
