OUR EPIC UK EV ROAD TRIP PART 2: CHARGING STOPS AND SCENIC VIEWS

EV Channels Review

This installment of the UK EV road trip focuses on the journey from Carlisle to London, highlighting both the scenic views and the persistent charging challenges. The reviewer expresses significant frustration with the Jeep's thermal management issues, which recurred despite efforts to mitigate them. Hotel charging proved to be a major disappointment, with region-locked apps and non-functional payment systems rendering the provided chargers unusable. This forced unplanned stops at public charging stations, adding time and inconvenience to the journey. Despite these setbacks, the reviewer notes the abundance of charging infrastructure in the UK, contrasting it with other regions. The video concludes with a vehicle swap from the problematic Jeep to a Polestar 2 Long Range, signaling a potential shift in the road trip's narrative. While the Jeep's charging and thermal issues were a lowlight, the reviewer found the UK's charging network to be a significant positive.
