Thanks for visiting Electric Car Australia, the real world EV Channel. My names Greg and I’m your host taking you to Canterbury in the United Kingdom where I hired an EV, the Polestar 2, and done multiple road trips in the UK countryside needing multiple different charging options which I talk through.
In the video I showcase:
– My experience renting or hiring an EV in the UK.
– EV charging in the UK, including how to find chargers, types of charges and what they cost.
– Challengers of driving on narrow UK country and city roads.
– Parking costs and how these increase the total cost of on street EV charging.
– a quick tour of the famous historic Leeds Castle
