I have done blackpool and back in a day which is about a 160 mile round trip and still had approx 30% battery left so it wont be my first experience of a long journey, just my first experience of charging away from home

Thanks, I will have a look at the electroverse app. I have checked on the Gridserve app and all the services I may stop at have their chargers so that shouldnt be an issue

@PJ87 After some advice please. Having had my EV for 3 months and loving the savings by charging at home I will be going on my first long journey next week from Bradford to Heathrow. Already planned to stop on the way down at either Toddington or Newport Pagnell to rest and charge. I have never...

As far as I know, there are only 5 Pacific, Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Southern. I could be wrong though

Thanks Mudball Every day is a school day. I obviously have not looked properly.

I have just checked and it does save all destinations by scrolling down and looking through them. The only destinations that can be saved are home and work. On my old Tom Tom I could save destinations to favourites to make it easier to find them

Thanks for the advice, will have a play with the inbuilt sat nav but will probably stick to Waze (just wish you could save favourite locations in it) If most of the chargers take contactless that will make it easier! I only do 2 or 3 long trips a year at the most anyway so should only really be...

Good evening, I have had the email today telling me that my car is ready for delivery :D Only issue is I cant get it till the 3rd December due to my current lease end date. I am getting a kona N line in sailing blue. I have my Ohme pro charger installed, am currently on Octopus so will be able...

Thanks for the advice I already have a smart meter so no issue there, The price of the charger includes installation and it is spread over the term of the lease so when the next lease ends the charger is mine to keep. I will be setting up the switch a couple of months before the car is to be...

Im not sure which one it will be. As I did the order it asked if I wanted an home charger fitting and the choices were Ohme or Podpoint so just selected Ohme. I guess I will find out when it is fitted. I went and had a look a couple of weeks ago but they only had the advance trim in. I prefer...

Taken the plunge and ordered my new car today :) been checking the prices and they went up again yesterday so ordered it from my previous quote. Gone for Hyundai Kona N-line in sailing blue. Also ordered an Ohme charger to be fitted so will be looking to move to octupus energy later in the...

I think so, the choice was between a Kia Niro (3) or Hyundai Kona (Advance) with comfort pack. They are both very similar spec but the Hyundai has an heat pump so I think that is going to swing it

Yes I have a smart meter already

Thanks, I am currently with British Gas and they do an EV rate but am not locked into a fixed rate so can leave any time. My current lease ends on the 14th November so I will be ordering the car well in advance. I will be making sure the charger s installed before the car is delivered aswell. I...

Thanks for that I was leaning towards the Ohme anyway. I probably wont be ordering the car till next month to try and time it with my current lease ending so just need to hope the prices do not go up too much
