1st long(ish) trip

[James83]

Drove 2.5 hours to Centre Parcs for half term family break. Youngest slept most of it. Enjoyed the go when putting foot down, didn't feel the extra weight in the back.

Looked like there were plenty of free charging spaces when I arrived but due to me being stingy my type 2 cable hasn't arrived from Ebay yet. Can probably make it back without needing a rapid enroute. Was glad to have a reversing camera in the carpark.

Miles/kWh improved up from low 3.somethings once off motorway, despite ups n downs through the Peak district.

Spotted my first other MG5 in the wild here!, a black one.

Spot someone charging and ask to borrow their cable after they've finished maybe ?

Was that free charging or free spaces?

Free spaces. 11pm-6am only. £0.49 kwh with VendElectric App
Around 100 spaces, 65 currently unoccupied, about 10 unavailable.

You take it back, it's at centre Parcs, they will have a lodge number. Yes it does require some trust but it's not like at a random shopping centre.

Made it back with plenty left. (Shorter but slower route and noticed the potholes more). Definitely feel less fatigue compared to ICE noice.
