Started from Glasgow with 100%, first stop being Southwaite Moto Services, about 100 miles. I’d heard on Zap-Map that 2nd unit was broken but no one there when I arrived so an easy charge. Took to 86% (27.954 kWh @ 30p/kWh => £8.39) and a Tesla driver appeared as I was leaving.

Next stop was MFG Crow Orchard (8 units available) after 103 miles, again no one there when I arrived. Unit 3 wouldn’t start but Zap-Map showed recent successful charge on unit 1 and sure enough it started. Took to 86% (35.05 kWh @ 39p/kWh => £13.70). An Audi arrived half way through and one other car by time I left.

Arrived at North Wales after 84 miles, totalling 275.7 miles and 3.0 miles/kW. Sat at 65mph on ACC the entire trip Eco and Kers 2 - made it pretty stress free once you get used to working with the MG Pilot

Did pop to local Lidl PodPoint and topped up, went higher than expected as had to call help desk to stop - so up to 90% (32.27kWh @ 25p/kWh => £8.07)

Next time, might stop at 80% charge (maybe less at more expensive MFG), especially if anyone else was waiting - but first time nerves and no one else needing charge took me to 86%.
