How much did it COST to drive 775 miles in my MG ZS EV? (and why IONITY's huge cost doesn't matter!)

A long journey solely relying on public charging was a great time to see first hand the reality of long distance EV travel in the UK. Join me as I cover a variety of the UK's public charging networks, with just a minimal amount of failure. How does the cost compare to petrol/diesel? People make a big deal about the cost of public rapid charging - but it's not all as bad as it seems. It's all about balance - cheap home charging will of course always bring the average down. 00:00 Intro 01:53 Charging at Home with Octopus Energy 03:10 A Better Routeplanner 03:53 Stop 1 - Osprey Charging Knutsford 05:26 Stop 2 - BP Pulse Lancaster 06:11 Ecotricity Fail 06:21 Stop 3 - IONITY Gretna 06:54 Octopus Electric Juice 08:42 Tesla Destination Confusion 10:12 ChargePlace Scotland 12:25 MG ZS EV: Comfort and Refinement 14:17 Stop 4 - BP Pulse Gretna 15:06 Stop 5 - InstaVolt at Booths Kirkby Lonsdale 16:18 Stop 6 - MFG Crow Orchard 17:19 Stop 7 - Ecotricity Stafford! 18:00 Summary A Better Routeplanner - https://abetterrouteplanner.com/ Zap-Map - https://www.zap-map.com/ Charging is much cheaper at home!
