Range anxiety experienced by a novice EV driver
Lewis a novice EV (Leaf) driver who drove this leg experienced a little bit of range anxiety but once we figured out how to select the minimise motorways option on the Sat Nav he felt a lot more comfortable about making it to the hotel.
He even deliberately tried to reduce the indicated range once we were within 5 miles of the hotel by accelerating hard in Drive mode. We arrived with 6 miles of predicted range remaining.
I drove a 479 mile round trip in my Nissan Leaf over 3 days starting on Friday morning last weekend from Chorley Lancashire down to a Wedding in Newbury. I used 3 rapid charges and 4 slow charges. The trip cost a total of £2.80 for my initial charge at home.
