road trip

For all those wishing to visit France this summer, we recently made the return journey Brive to Chambery around 960 km , 800 on the peage . Fuel costs in a large Boxer van 130 euros , toll road costs 142 euros. Beware Dick Turpin still lives. We did a pre journey route planner which estimated...

Tomorrow will be three weeks since we collected Goth Leo, our MG4 SE LR. We have already done nearly 1400 miles. This forum was very helpful as we stepped up to make the decision whether or not to buy Goth Leo, but there was one aspect of it that I was aware of, and that is, in general, folk...

Hi All Our first trip in the MG5 to France was a success. We subscribed to charge map and recharged 3 times on our short trip. Charge points seem to be plentiful and in convenient places. Total cost €28.40. n.b. Three glasses of wine and a beer in a sunny riverside cafe was €24.80!

Hi everyone, Soon to be new MG4 LR owner here (Camden Grey for anyone interested). Due to pick up my car tomorrow morning, then we're off to Cornwall for a week (in the car!) Obviously I won't have a tonne of time to familiarise myself with all of the ins and outs of the cars functionality...

Petersfield to Manchester Centre managed 3.8 miles per kWh, mainly duel carriageway and motorway. Raining most of the way so aircon, heat, wipers, lights etc on. 100% start, first stop at 175 miles and 4 hours of driving arrived with 28% and 67miles range. 18 mins for a toilet and coffee grab...

I am planning to drive the family from Nottingham to Holyhead to Dublin to Larne (NI) to Cairnryan (Scotland) and home again, in our ZS mark 1. We will be staying in various places along the way over about 2 weeks. Does anyone have any tips: Is it necessary to get RFID cards or Apps? Which...

So since a few people have done this so shall I. I'd already ordered the chargemap card, the crit'air sticker and the only thing i'd order now is the toll tag. Previous driving experience in Europe was about 15 years ago when I'd driven a Vito from UK to Milan via Zurich. Planned a roadtrip...

Got back earlier today from a 2-week road trip to Scotland with stops in Edinburgh, Inverness, Isle of Skye, Fort William and Loch Lomond. My HS PHEV is only a few months old with most of the mileage done in EV mode prior to the road trip so had a good opportunity to run the petrol engine in...

Second road trip of the summer, this time to visit my wife's family in Northern Ireland. This involved a drive from London to Cairnryan with a stop off in each direction half way (Preston on the way up and Kendal on the way back). MG5 fully loaded with all sorts of paraphernalia as usual...

So I bought my ZS EV end of May and it has been amazing for doing my 60-mile round trip to work. However, I recently went on my first long road trip from Hull to Newcastle and then on to Edinburgh and back. Every journey was a disaster. So I planned my route, had plenty of stops so that I...

Just completed a 2000 mile road trip. Was a bit nervous as I am an EV newbie and had never done any journeys that required me to charge away from home. The trip was from our home to Orkney and back with a stopover in Stirling and Edinburgh. The car performed very well with 2 adults, a lanky...

Hi guys last month I have done road trip trough Croatian coast and small visit to Bosnia&Herzegovina, total 2.100 km, awg 166 wat/km. It was great and excellent experience. Charging network is great, we used Elen app and Elen chargers (it is Croatian national power grid company). Charging is...

Who says the MG ZS EV causes range anxiety.... (See attached photos.) Today I completed a 236.1 miles road trip, both trip totals were reset, no heating or fans, but sun roof on tilt. Roads were mixed, but mainly the M25 with a mixture of A roads and other normal pedestrian roads. Car was fully...
