The all things EV chat thread

Just got back from a Christmas trip (our first in our EV) and had some interesting findings;

• Range drops off a cliff at 70+ mph
• Car does not always charge at its highest potential speed, even when battery is down at 20% or so
• Gridserve are a rip off
• IONITY are not a rip off

Also got back to a crack on the windscreen, not bad for a car with 250 miles...

How far was the trip ? I have only public charged a few times but the price really does vary sometimes over 10x what I pay at home ! I have the electroverse card and also Tesla app as they are often quite cheap.

About 250 each way, just done the return. I pay 0.59 at Ionity but the gridserve was 0.91.
