BEING THE EXPERIENCED electric car driver that I (mostly) am, a road trip from London down to west Somerset and back in my Citroën e-C4 held no fear for me. That said, I had no intention of going unprepared and risking a repeat of an incident in 2020; I pushed my luck too far with my MG ZS EV’s range and ended up stranded for hours with an utterly dead car.
