You are better off charging later on in your journey TBH, the car will charge a lot quicker with a lower state of charge.
Not from a logistics perspective for me. I'd prefer to sail on by the favoured stopping point of the masses on a holiday run. I don't mind not getting the quickest recharge rate but what I do aim to avoid at all times is anywhere the masses are heading towards. So when heading to Cornwall in summer when loads of others are, I refill with petrol miles before most are hitting quarter full and thinking about stopping. I'd definitely do the same with electricity. And the joy of charging eventually will be that every motorway exit will offer a charging solution within a mile or so and that will mean never needing a motorway services hole.
Our next trip to Scotland, I'm looking at using only Tesla chargers, none will be at motorway services.

Hahaha you sad t
ts, zig-zagging all over the place to charge up. Get yourself a good petrol or diesel and you can just drive from A to B, any place, any time, any conditions, and without even thinking about it. You'll thank me later.The reason for not stopping at motorway services has nothing to do with the cost, it’s all about a nicer travel experience and much better food. Every charging station is less than a mile from the motorway exit.

I have been in Paris for a week and numbers seem to be growing which makes the city even more relaxing to walk through.
Unless you happen to get hit by one of these 2 tonne cock chariots because you can't hear it coming.Gassing Station | Car Buying | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
