Picked up New MG Cyberster Trophy Electric car on Friday 4th April 2025.
Managed to get it registered on 31st March to avoid the Road Tax Hike that started on 1st April.
Picked up Friday Lunchtime, Headed for Dover, Short Night stop in the Dover Travelodge and got the 4:40 Ferry to Calais Saturday Morning, and drove all the way to Basel in Switzerland. Roof down for most of the Journey in 25 degree Sunshine. Arrived in Basel at 19:30 with 3 charge stops of about 30 mins each. Charging is no worse than filling a petrol car on the continent. All motorway service have rapid chargers, so drive for 1:30 to 2:00 hours and ready for a break anyway, by the time you've had a drink, snack and loo break, the car is charged. Range is listed at 316 miles, managed 285 with 90% battery, but was driving mostly 70mph in Belgium and 85mph on the French Toll roads, so not good for range in an electric car.
Looking forward to many happy roof down days to come.
