I recently changed my car for an electric car. This resulted in a barrage of comments from almost everyone that I know about spending all day charging, not being able to travel long distances & being sat on the hard shoulder with a flat battery!!!

In this video I activate a SOTA summit in 3 minutes & discuss the practicality of driving longer distances to activate SOTA summits in an electric car.

I did a 200 mile round trip (around 4 hours driving) to activate this summit. How practical is a completely electric car for SOTA road trips like this?

Spoiler alert........the car was charged and ready to go before I had finished eating my lunch!
