The French are going for bonnet height instead :rolleyes:

Funny, but as someone has done long haul EU driving for 39 years in a variety of petrol, diesel & EVs, I have to disagree. To comply with the law, my health, my families sanity, and my own safety, driving breaks are required. All the long haul non-stop drivers I know have all sorts of health...

So, whilst I am in principal in agreement with pay per mile . . . . EVs must be cheaper to own than ICE in all circumstances, yet now they are applying backdated business tax of charge-points adding £300/year in costs to EV owners. As many know, I travel the EU, 1000s of miles a year. It is...

How do you get a top spot? Number of posts, likes or what? How many posts do I need to make lol

Hi, yes its of great value. You are showing change over time, new charging ideas and how to optimise your trip. Most people half your age are scared to do that trip in a legacy car let alone an EV.

Same issue with pressing key button in trouser pockets, just put your keys somewhere unlikely to be pressed

I get 20k on the front and 40k on the back. MG 5

I book 11 months in advance, except Norway for 2018, I needed 18 month advance to secure what I wanted. I had a booking timetable for Norway!!

My 2026 trips are now mostly booked. New areas of France & neighbours.

It wasn't me!

My dealer did this in a few minutes, a very simple update to the EVCC_02 unit. Whilst it enabled Tesla & other chargers, it did slow down my peak charging rate from 96 to 85 kW.

I equally have had to change rates post invoice as what I ended up being charged differed from what I was given at the time of charging, all downward thankfully. Try out a Zunder on your return, they are my personal favourites! You need their app ideally though.

That is a masterpiece of planning & driving! Wow!! Your route is similar to mine, but you were a bit more adventurous in your stops! Brilliant.

My PCP ends soon and I am keeping it, the MG5 LR Exclusive that is. Yes, the paper value is less than the balloon payment but . . . . I've added tinted windows, Tesla upgrade, frunk, a dent, a few scrapes and am well over mileage! Also, the cost of a new PCP or hassle of a 2nd hand EV isn't...

In the summer my EVs 700-800m pcm costs under £1, or around £10 in winter just saying . . . .
