I'd also add, for the evangelists of the milkfloat, I could easily get from Londonium to St Davids/Fishguard and back again without having to stop.  That to me is more important that worrying about finding a working charger and paying through the nose for it.

So BMW was actually a bit pessimistic on charge on arrival, rubbish bank holiday traffic helped though. Stop/start speed up/down traffic is actually better for an EV than a constant cruise I've found. As it can generate quite a bit more of electric back into the car.

Constant speed is better for any vehicle, as Scottie would say, ye cannae change the laws of physics, Captain.

Also you'll only regenerate leccy under "braking", but thats inefficient as you have to speed up again, unless of course you need to slow down.


As to not getting much out of the charger, it is possible you were also at a point where the batteries can't take full whack, which is prob as you approach 80%-ish?

It fell away almost straight away to sub 100 within a minute of plugging in and I was on ~72% of similar.
