charging beyond 80 just slows you down and it would be quicker to stop again than wait for 100%. But do turn on the AC etc whilst still charging near the end so you don’t waste range getting the temp down or up when you set off again, the charger will be ramping down so plenty of capacity to charge and run the AC.
Enjoy
Very cool tip about the AC!

Was a good trip, had to stop about 8 times up to Scotland and back again (two people plus a dog and a heavy case plus a TV on the way up). Average would be 70mph with adaptive cruise on the motorways.
Not sure if this is good or not? I'm guessing someone will know

Hi Tony. 17.5kwh is about 3.5mile/kWh which is average. I’ve just been into N Wales and returned about 4miles/kWh. This was a mix of motorway and A roads. 4 up in the car with luggage. Weather blistering. M/way speeds generally 56/65 mph which is where I think I have achieved the higher mileage rate. Tyre pressures pumped up to max for 4 up+luggage
