Just completed our first longish trip in our MG5 Exclusive. Around 400 miles in total from Gloucestershire to Sussex.
Found the charging infrastructure woefully lacking. Very few rapid chargers actually working but plenty of 7.4kwh which were but of little use when on a long journey.
One rapid we found that was working, an InstaVolt was 66pkwh and I worked out that the cost was very nearly the same as it would have been to put the same amount of range on my old ICE diesel..!
I did have a free Bonnet charge that I tried to take advantage of but the only charger I found under their umbrella was an Osprey and you guessed it - it wasn’t working!
Thinking of going back to ICE for long journeys and the EV for local trips for which I can charge at home!
Things can only get better!
