LONDON TO EDINBURGH TESLA MODEL Y LONG RANGE EV ROAD TRIP UK

EV Channels Review

This video documents an 1100-mile, three-day road trip from London to Edinburgh and back in a 2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range, exclusively using the Tesla Supercharger network. The reviewer highlights the Model Y's comfort and ease of driving, noting that the integrated navigation system effectively pre-conditions the battery for rapid charging. The primary takeaway is that the EV road trip only added approximately 26 minutes to the overall journey time, primarily due to strategic charging stops that aligned with natural breaks. The reviewer praises the Tesla Supercharger network for its reliability and speed, though notes that charging rates can decrease if adjacent chargers are in use. While acknowledging that using other EV brands might offer more charging options, the Tesla network's density on motorways is seen as a significant advantage. The reviewer also touches on the potential cost of public charging compared to petrol, emphasizing the cost-effectiveness of home charging for most EV owners. The video concludes that the long-distance EV road trip was feasible and not significantly inconvenient, especially within the Tesla ecosystem.
