Bottom line: I completely get not everybody wants to drive an EV yet. But don't believe what you're told to believe by some newspapers and social posts. Base your decision on evidence and a test drive.

On the neg side: I planned my stops in advance (not a huge downer - it meant decent food as well as no range anxiety), I drove slightly slower than in a petrol to keep to 4 miles per kWh (I had a strong headwind from the storm), and I wore my coat to reduce heating and max range.

On the plus side: chargers all worked with plenty available, much cheaper than petrol, generation stats showed 80% of electricity was zero carbon (v 0% with petrol).

Stopped for 30 mins to get a sandwich in Moffat and plugged into a slow charger for a top-up: 3.5 kw @ 13p/mile. All 8 chargers available. Arrived in Glasgow with battery to spare. Cost of electricity door to door = £22.

I left home with a full battery: 260 miles, electricity cost 2p/mile. Stopped for 45 mins to have breakfast and charge at a hotel just off the M6 near Preston: added 30kWh at a cost of 12p/mile. 8 of 15 chargers available.

Curious about the negativity of long distance driving in #EVs - so I drove one from just outside London up to Glasgow to film a couple of news stories this week. Here's my experience 🧵.#ElectricVehicles
