It charges too fast! No time for a sandwich. I think it went up to 220kW but I can’t be sure as I was distracted by a Taycan that turned up.

A positive EV news story! Thanks to the UK's increasingly clean grid, an EV's carbon break-even point is now 7,061 miles according to new research. That puts those "my diesel is cleaner than your EV" comments to bed quite conclusively.

Electric cars are less green to make than petrol but make up for it in less than a year

Making an electric car is more carbon intensive, but lower emissions when driving soon makes up the difference

Well, that was uneventful! Canterbury to York and back. About 550 miles in total. No broken chargers, no queuing, three very quick charges, and no time to eat because IONIQ 5 is a charging monster. ⚡️
