We are on our second rest ant tea break, en route, and charging Midge. It is scary panic when you realise the charging bay extends past the charger, so the car sticks out in the road. So you do a quick stop of the charger so you can move the car forwards a bit, and the car throws up a 'System Fault, HV battery off line' and refuses to move! 😱 Anyway.... All sorted now. I think the 'computer' did a stack overflow as too many things were done too quickly. Note to self: Next time, do things really slowly, and one action at a time. #EVCharging

We have arrived in Winchester with 50% battery after two charge sessions when we stopped for tea breaks. No stresses (aside from the toot above) regarding range anxiety. I think we could easily do longer journeys than this, without concern, if we are on the motorways. I am a little less sure with cross country A and B class roads. #EVCharging
