Can IONIQ Electric EV Now Handle A 1,000 Mile UK Road Trip... With No Planning?

Before selling my (treasured!) Hyundai IONIQ Electric car I'm took it on a final 1,000-mile UK road trip! I went around England, to Bedford, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Oxford... and into Wales, to Cardiff...

Given it's now 2019 and EV rapid charger networks are meant to be improving, I decided to do this trip WITHOUT any forward planning. My only prep step was to sign up for BP Chargemaster's POLAR network for the first time. (That is a bit of a faff, as you get a RFID card... mailed to you a few days later through the post!)

I made a critical video over a year ago concluding this kind of long distance travel was difficult in the UK. This is especially so with the IONIQ's CCS charging port - and lack of CCS type chargers back in early 2018.

Has anything changed with the growth of networks beyond Ecotricity's Electric Highway, like IONITY, Instavolt, POLAR and others? Watch to find out how I got on... and what issues I encountered!

This longer trip provided a great chance to test the efficiency of my IONIQ... As always with this car, I was pleasantly surprised, and show my overall result for the 1,000 miles (1,600 km) at the end of the video.
