France = super easy Germany = much better than even last year Austria not sure Port on the linked blog so we can all share MGS5 owners can see what the definition of a "long" trip is. (sorry MGS5 owners, we are teasing you a bit)

I look forwards to your blog! The longest drives I know for a MG5 owners are Sarah Go Green back 800 miles to Wales from Berlin and Manchester to Gibraltar non-stop (exc charging) for a charity run 1685 miles each way with 2 drivers. I did 1367 miles, with 2 night stops to Portugal in December...

So, 913 miles in one go? Blog about it here: - https://www.mgevs.com/threads/charging-across-europe.3649/

The perils of toll motorways and planning restrictions. Being at a service station hub on the southbound with a huge queue, whilst the northbound has rows of empty chargers with only some bollards between. The pointless need to keep north/south bound traffic apart. Looking through a fence at...

I regularly drive across Europe. The empty fast auto routes allow really long trips. Strasbourg is a beautiful city. Drove back from there last year in a day. A Christmas drive to Portugal in low temperatures was a challenge. Charging is slower and heating eats into the range. Had to drop under...

MG5, super car 😂

I only count over 500 miles in a day as a long trip in my MG5. 625 miles is my record. 😁 ACC is great for me.

So original rear tyres replaced, original so 39k. 4mm outer & centre but bald on the inner side. Front tyres are cross climate 2s on 19k, 4mm across the tread (originals lasted 20k)

My original front tyres lasted 20k, with inner wear. Maybe my boy racer driving, or the fact they were slippery as hell. I replaced them with Cross Climate 2s. Now at 39k. Original rear tyres due to be replaced this week, again inner wear, but also lots of cracking on tyre walls. Front tyres...

I think one Chinese low cost brand already uses sodium ion batteries. Cherry maybe?

Yes I did watch these and yes they are enjoyable to watch, lovely family. I find his charging process & planning frustrating. I guess at least he has reduced charging up to 100% at rapids! When I plan, I simply have a list of chargers on route that I could use with a high level plan, that I...

I'd say that I'm in a hybrid state now. Across France planning is not required, but if I want to take advantage of the cheaper Tesla chargers it is a bit. Across Spain into Portugal, I know where the chargers are & prefer Zunder as it is the cheapest / best. A bit of planning is still...

I passed 100k on EVs this week! Just replacing my rear tyres before my next adventure, 39k on them, inner wear to minimum and some side wall cracking, that's it. Not long for my next trip. What do people want to me to report about on this years trip? Charging, costs, efficiency etc? Anything...

Of what exactly? :rolleyes:

I've noticed that charger availability on my route has doubled since my last trip. More chargers at each services, at supermarkets and in isolated places. Even the France-Spain border gap seems to have better availability developing.
