Hi, I'd be interested to know the conditions. I assume not too hot/cold and just a steady motorway cruise? 19" or 21"?

Nice August day, 21s 65-70 mph motorway.

Im in wales at the moment and could quite easily have made the return trip of 230 miles as arrived with 52% from a 99% start . with a bit of A road driving.

Cool, sounds about right.

First long run in my new Leaf 30kwh. Welwyn to West Wittering beach, stopped twice for rapids on the way down, not really necessary.

Topped up at Waitrose in Chichester, then the 100 mile trip back done in one go, about 18% left. Definately could have gone to 125 miles as I sped up quite a bit for the last ten miles. Heavy traffic around Heathrow probably helped.

We also have a 24kwh and this felt miles better for long trips. I was really impressed, total cost of fuel for 250 miles of driving, £3.50. That was a chargeyourcar rapid, I couldn't log onto the app ended up ringing their automated system, worked ok.
