road trip

Hi All, I recently got an MG M4 SE Long Range (66kw), which I have used predominantly for very short trips at low speed and I have been generally quite happy with it. However, over Easter, I went for a road trip in the countryside, and I noticed the car felt quite unstable every time I was...

Hi all, I recently bought a 2021 ZS EV that I love. My 13-year-old and I are planning a trip from Melbourne to Canberra next month, and we can do it in a petrol car we have, but I'd much rather take the MG. I only have the wall charger that came with the car so far, and it gets us to 245km - it...

Being one to try and road trip any vehicle here is my single person set up. At 173cm I fit although the bed is a bit sloping but ok. 120Ah LiFePO battery box 120W solar blanket & PWM controller 15L fridge (not running from vehicle battery) Folding table Folding stool (supports head/pillow...

Leaving home early tomorrow and heading for Lake District. Planned stops at Tesla Banbury and Tesla Stoke. A quick Gridserve top-up at Burton on Kendal and then back to Manchester and Tesla Trafford. Have re-joined Tesla membership for £10.99 for a month. Will save £9.27 tomorrow alone based on...

Hey all I am planning a trip and currently looking at stopping at Peterborough off the A1(M) and using the IONITY chargers there. I haven’t tried an IONITY charger yet on my MG5 FL. I just wanted to check with the hive mind on experiences. My nearest IONITY is miles away or I would do a quick...

Just done a 2000 mile round trip via scotland almost via the North Coast 500 route (mainly via all the norths / scotlands Tesla chargers, open to all!), and was at Trentham (Stoke) V4 supercharger (on an other trip via liverpool) - and it appears that I've upset a tesla driver (with their slick...

Brighton area to Liverpool this morning via 2x Tesla Superchargers (Banbury & Stoke). Could have skipped the 2nd one and gone to a local Liverpool charger (Dobbies Speke was back-up plan) but bladder won the race. Anyway...so much cheaper than all other networks and very simple to use, plus...

We’ve just completed the outbound leg of our first long road trip in the PHEV. Lots of researching and planning to get refuelled and recharged at the optimum locations along the way. The trip took us from Norfolk UK to Portsmouth where we refuelled then fully recharged on a PodPoint charger...

Another short North Island New Zealand road trip. This time Waikanae to Hamilton via Tūrangi with a hop up to Silverdale, North Auckland. Left Waikane 5pm Friday with 80% on board and stopped 92km later at Bulls Te Matapihi by the Bulls Community Centre for quick top up on the 300kW ChargeNet...

So it's Christmas and the family festivities are in Hamilton. We live in Waikanae, roughly 384 km (238 miles) one way and 6 hours driving south. However, we needed to make a detour to visit a friend with a new property in Inglewood. That added detour makes one way of the round trip 518 km (322...

Going on our first road trip in the MG4 tomorrow. Heading to Tauranga from Auckland, only about 220km, but the first time we'll be driving for any length of time on the open road. Around 100km of motorway, and the rest 80-90km/h road. Xmas holiday traffic will no doubt affect travel time though...

First long distance trip today from mid-Devon to Sheffield. About 250 miles, 220 of which on motorway. Points: charged once at Droitwich. Pod-point 16 minute charge for £16 for 25 kWh to go from 45% to 80%. arrived Sheffield with 27% charge used tja for most of the motorway driving Car stays...

Just completed my first long trip in the car. Edinburgh to Leicester and back and here are some thoughts... Gridserve chargers nice and easy to use, plug in scan your card and off they go (I used the Washington southbound Moto services and the Wetherby services chargers) 79p/kw JetCharge - pain...

I have painted myself into a corner, and will have to drive 186 miles to my friend's house in Yorkshire on 23rd December. This is too far for the SR to manage on one charge in winter. Every EV in the country is likely to have detached itself from its wall-box teat on that day and decided to set...

50 miles from home a stone chip scared the shizz out of me and ruined my night 😩 Waiting on roadside assistance to recover me to home and figure out WTF to do tomorrow. Suggestions appreciated, can’t think right now. I’m assuming auto glass or something as it’s likely not covered by much or is...

Having a trip down to Chichester next weekend, travelling from Manchester. Gonna hit the Fastened charging station @ Abingdon Rd Oxford on the way down which is 168 miles from home and will ultimately use the electroverse app to look for chargers around Brighton, Portsmouth & Chichester. Have...

Just come back from a 5 day break from Nr Peterborough to Poole in Dorset. All was smooth and the hotel (Holiday Inn had some chargers). Made the mistake of connecting to the 7,5 kW and then I noticed it has an automatic extra £10 charge if stay longer than 90 minutes - this was in quite small...

Popped home to North Wales over the weekend to visit my mum. 270 miles each way. On the outbound leg we charged at the Stafford Ionity chargers, 6 units at that location, three free but one was off-line. Arrived with 18% charge (I'd forgotten to set charge to long trip mode the night before so...

We just did a trip over the pas de Morgin and the Grand St Bernard pass from France to Aosta in Italy and back again in one day! It fooled the heck out of the MG4 range predictor. At one point with half full battery it was saying we could go 60 miles.

Headed up to Northern Scotland from West Oxford on Friday and planned a night at Sterling prior to pushing up to Elgin area. Grand total of 550 odd miles with a lot of motorway stuff. Good overall, car behaved well and was comfortable for the long run, confirmed Stuart from YouTube's range...
