    Sorry but these recharges are absolutely ridiculous. Charging takes 10 min max, they are charging to a too high level. I took a 1000 km trip this month. My total charging time was approx. 50min. Most times not enough to go the the bathroom. The used charging strategy is just dumb.

      Then there would have been 20 stops to charge…. A 10 min charge would give only 25kwh top up as some of the chargers were only 150kw.

      I’m sure in the near future electric cars will charge faster even than it’ll take to fill your Petrol tank

    You could charge at superchargers with the Peugeot…

      At some but not all of them, also they said in the beginning they would drive as the satnav told them to test it.

    I’m not surprised that there isn’t much savings for road tripping, as EV public charging is expensive. The big savings with driving an EV are from home charging.

    If you wanna do long distances you buy a diesel, because diesel is king no matter what

    I own an EV and they are a solution for some and not for others. If you are a heavy mileage person then an EV is deffo not for you. If you do a trip to southern france once a year then the advantages of an EV (home charging convenience, quiet, being able to defrost a car easily in winter :p, cost effective motoring and cutting down tail pipe emissions etc etc) are worth the potential headache once a year, i did a trip to disney which was 500 miles in an ID7 and it took me no longer than it did the year before in my petrol, cos i just charged when i stopped for a wee or for lunch, i only needed one charge to 80%, pointless charging to 100%.

    Sorry in the petrol car you were not stationary for 10 minutes over 1000 miles. Not going to disagree about having the choice of where to stop but that smug it takes me 5 minutes to refill my petrol car is daft. You fuel an ev while you do other things not sitting there like a lemon holding a handle on a hose and wondering off to pay

    You could have charged the peugeot at many tesla superchargers. Even the one you featured at the eurotunnel is open to all cars

    Here we give again bringing up the fact that you have to move your eyes of head to check your speed in a Tesla, how about moving your head or eyes to keep checking your rear view mirror, it’s absolutely no difference. When Whatcar review minis they don’t the mention the binnacle in the centre which you need to look at to check your speed

    We own a house in Charante so make a similar journey. Currently use my diesel Duster, but will be using my partner’s EV in future. We have sussed out options – his can use Tesla superchargers as a non Tesla. I just have to question why anyone would use the tunnel from the starting point of this video when they can have a much more pleasant trip on the Portsmouth to Caen ferry. Still a 5 hour drive the other side but you get 6 hours of rest or more on the ferry. Magical.

    I imagine anyone going on a trip like that, is more than likely going to buy subs for Ionity, or Tesla, or both.
    This would significantly decrease the price of charging.

    Instead of doing these long trips that we know the EVs do not shine at yet, why not do a month of commuting, school trips, grocery shopping etc which is what 95% of cars are actually used for 95% of the time?

      Results will be unreliable as it will be heavily dependent on the amount of traffic + area you live, etc.

      @@waduhek2568as is this because it is a single trip and so charger use and availability varies every day too.

    Having owned EVs for 5 years, I’d say it’s pretty rare to go away for 3 nights and not charge once overnight. That charge is usually less expensive and will get you to full as well. The overall result isn’t too surprising though. EVs are much better for 99% of your journeys and I think this test has showed it’s not too painful if you want to use it for a trip. I think petrol cars are becoming less compelling all the time. This is their only use case now.

      Well said. You don’t buy a car for 2% of your journeys. You buy it for the 98% of normal life journeys. Charging on night rates make it phenomenally cheap to run

    Very interesting comparison. You lost also 4-5 hours of your holiday for charging the vehicles. Multiple it with your earnings/hour and your trip is much more expensive.

    Very poor planning. Charge while the car is stopped anyway; eating, visiting the facilities etc, and always book a hotel with chargers so you have a full tank in the morning. Slow charging is so much cheaper.

    just to put it out there i did pretty much the same trip in my peugeot rcz this summer which is tuned and did the trip of sensible driving most of the time and did it on £120 worth of super unleaded petrol just over 1000 miles and that was 37-46mpg average and did less than 2 tanks of petrol so real world i had no messing about in my 13 year old car which is also an amazing drive

    That must be a Berlin supplied Tesla Model Y AWD Long range with the rather poor charging LG cells, my Fremont Built with its larger capacity 82KWH gross can charge easily from 10-80 percent with battery conditioning in around 26 minutes. I pull a 1000lb Tent trailer in the spring & summer and it just works so great on long road trips 2500KM’s return, thanks Panasonic!

    I do believe you should have left your destination with 100% charge as anyone in an EV visiting would leave with the 100% charge. Also many people would not do the 500 mile trip in each direction without toilet and food stops. EV can plugin while driver gets refreshed. I have done an 870 mile trip in my EV and only stop was whilst we ate. Also only cost me £37
    Tesla also has sentry mode running to protect your car but it does use some power.

    Here in Canada I love the charging stops especially going from Sechelt BC on the Sunshine Coast to Vancouver BC (40 minutes on a ferry) to Calgary AB, those charging stops are usually less than 20 minutes and allow us to take in the very beautiful mountain scenery at each stop! I use to travel this none stop in a ICE car, I I am much more enjoy the route, scenery and ease of travel without the drone of the ICE, constant downshifting of the transmission and high rev’s through the multiple mountain passes, what a pleasure, never going to ICE again!
