So Wales trip all went well - first longer journey in an EV. The Kona, at 70mph, warm day, eco mode and aircon turned off does actually get close to a 300 mile range. (Im extrapolating from 220 miles and a quarter-ish charge left.
I need to charge it from a 3-pin plug on one occasion, but leaving it overnight gives an additional 100 or so miles which is fine.
It all reminded me of touring on a motorbike in Europe- you just need to be aware of fuel in a way that doesn’t concern you with a car with 650 miles in a tank.
Downsides - the Kona fast charge is slow at 70kw up to 50-60% and then dropping like a stone. And too many charging points have a single charger which is all a bit hopeless given EV uptake
