Real mileage question

[Tony60]

Hi, planning a drive from Liverpool to Southampton in November this year. I have the MG4 long range and will be carrying 4 passengers and 4 suitcases. Can anyone tell me what mileage I can expect and where would be the best place to charge if I wanted to charge up once I got down to 20%. Thanks

Hi, Check out one of the route planners like ABRP which will give you the stops it recommends.

Check Abetterrouteplanner, its the most accurate answer

These guys are right, but when I think back to this time last year I found ABRP very unintuitive to use and nearly gave up on it. It needs quite a lot of playing with before you figure it out, at least it did in my case.

You can tell it what weight you're carrying in the car. You can enter the temperature and the headwind. You can tell it by what % your battery has degraded. You can prefer particular charger networks. You can make it use the chargers you choose and then see if it's viable. You can choose your speed. You can ask for a range of plans between many short stops and few long stops.

It's very good and will repay time spent playing with it.

Thanks all for your advice

In ABRP you CAN do all of the above or you simply accept the defaults.
OP requested a November, and considering the temperature I will highly suggest at least setting the departure date so ABRP can take that into account. Also selecting your vehicle is crucial.

It's as easy as that

I only managed to set an actual departure date once, and have failed to find that setting since. However manually setting the temperature and headwind seems to work fine. If you're planning a journey some time in advance it's pointless leaving it on "seasonal temperature" because it will simply assume you're going today.

Quite intuitive you set the starting date and time, on your starting point

Thanks very much for that. I can almost swear that hasn't been there lots of times I've looked, but has been there at least once. I'll know where to look for sure now, anyway.
