The price of speed really. I’m really considering chucking the new car in and getting an ev and charging it at sites when I need to go, is there an ev chat?
Intrigued about people’s real life motorway miles and charging off a 13a plug for 8 hours.

Intrigued about people’s real life motorway miles and charging off a 13a plug for 8 hours
My Model Y easily gets 230 miles motorway on a 100% charge at 70mph in the winter, down to 10% so 250+ if you feel like risking 0% charge. MG4 is probably closer to 180 miles motorway. I do 220 mile round trips to Birmingham a minimum of 25 times a year and have never had to top up the charge when leaving home at 100%.
I've charged my old Model 3 on a 13a plug overnight in France a few times - it works fine. It would take nearly 24 hours to charge it from flat but it's basically 3kWh charge rate so 8 hours would be around 33% of your 77kWh battery if you had a Tesla or similar car.

I did a BC coaching course with a guy who had a ID3. He only ever charged it on site from a diesel generator. Not sure about the green credentials.

At public chargers, yes it is costly.
Charging at home however is dirt cheap.
