OUR EPIC UK EV ROAD TRIP: CHARGING STOPS AND SCENIC VIEWS | PART 1

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a 600-mile UK road trip in a 2024 Jeep Avenger EV, focusing on the charging experience and potential challenges for EV owners. The reviewer highlights the Avenger's suitability for couples or solo travelers, noting its limited rear space for families. The charging infrastructure proved to be a mixed bag: while Gridserve and Ionity sites were functional, the T-Bay services experienced significant issues with site power and congestion, leading to long waits and a frustrating experience. The reviewer also encountered thermal management issues with the Avenger after prolonged high-speed driving, causing a temporary reduction in power output. Despite these challenges, the reviewer found the Avenger comfortable and a good road-tripper for two, praising the scenic beauty of the English countryside, particularly in Cumbria. The video concludes with a real-world efficiency of 3.9 miles per kWh on motorway speeds.
