That’s useful thanks… somewhat optimistic on time!… but useful nonetheless. So how much impact does stop-start traffic have on battery drain? The traffic Typical journey time is more like 2hrs 45 mins but varies depending on how early or late we get away!

Not sure I follow? Live in Bristol, Bath side, so a few miles of of non-motorway at slower speeds, then circa 95 miles on the M4 - before A4 and painful trek through London to St Bart’s. Round trip is circa 250 miles, but a lot of it is 70mph on the M4. I get what you saying though, a short charge should work if we leave home with a full battery?

Thanks for this, Yes the infrastructure around St Bart’s is rubbish. My home charging rate would be 32p KWH - which is basically the cap rate, so all I’d be worried about is topping up sufficiently to get from Reading services to St Barts, and then all the way home with a sleepy passenger without stopping (hopefully)

Afternoon all, I’m considering an Enyaq for my next company car, it would be my first EV. The only thing really holding me back is that every three weeks I have to drive from Bristol to St Bart’s in London and back, this is a lifetime commitment. I was looking at the range of the 80 and think this is the route I’d go, but I can’t help thinking it might be a massive PITA as there’s only 1 charging point in the NCP we use (Barbican) and I’d be amazed if we could do the trip without recharging. Our reason for this journey is medical and a stressful one, so I don’t want to add additional stress if I can avoid it! To add specifics, I want to be able to sit at 70mph on the motorway and not have to nurse the thing along at 60, and we have about 95 miles of M4 each way - I can’t stop for a long charge on the way back, but could possibly stop at Reading services on the way in to charge. Can anyone provide any input on managing this journey in an Enyaq? although it’s a company car, this particular journey isn’t claimable so I’m not worried so much about mileage costs as long as it’s not going to more expensive then a petrol vehicle. hope that makes sense, but really grateful for any input Thank you.
