Just been to LHR and back from Jct 18 of M4 with a strong SW wind. It's blindingly obvious physics but the impact of wind speed on M/KWhr is much more noticeable in an EV when one is concentrating on the GOM and wondering what margin will be left when getting back home!
It was 4.5 on way there and 3.6 on the way back. I was hoping to find a fast, large artic on the way home so I could tuck in with adaptive cruise control but failed.
The last time I worried about wind speed and direction when planning a route was sailing cross channel! But at least in an EV tacking isn't required.
