Somebody mentioned 'diversions"...in our many trips driving 155 miles back and forth to Norfolk, it's never been a problem.
However, on Wednesday, about mid day, driving back to Derby, we had two long diversions due to two serious accidents.....neither diversion properly signed...we ended up driving 6 miles down the AI before we could turn around and get back on track......then blow me if the same didn't happen an hour later on the A52 east of Grantham...my predicted range margin on 40 miles in the tank, had now dropped to 12....so we 'chickened out' and stopped for a charge at the newish Shell garage at Saxondale. We were very impressed. We put 50 miles range in about 15 mins...at a cost of 41p kW. ..contactless payment, 150kW Recharge...no special cards..brilliant.
We celebrated by having ice cold air and 'vigorous acceleration' for the last part of the trip.
