Have you never driven longer journeys "non-stop", with just pauses to
visit the toilet and swap over drivers?


Manchester to Dover, across to Calais, along to just past St. Malo, a
visit to a house, a visit to a "solicitor" to buy it, to a hardware shop
for woodworm spray, to the house, back to Calais, across to Dover and
back to Manchester. Three of us, over a weekend, so as not to lose time
off work.


You drove across the channel? No reason why your
vehicle couldn't be charged during the crossing.


Corse there is, no charger provided.

Too much hassle providing chargers for all cars on the ferry or train.

Likewise at the house etc you were visiting.


Electricity, unlike diesel or petrol, is available near everywhere.


Pity about the stupid charging time.
