good little read, and worth noting she managed in a fairly old model. I do alot of EV miles in an older model also, and its totally fine.
My current EV beef is the price gouging on very slow charging points. Its the same electrons you mad bastards

This is the best summary I could come up with:
We worked out a route and looked at booking hotels, a treehouse, a campervan and a lighthouse; we’d visit friends and family; and we’d explore the capital cities of four nations – it sounded amazing.
It was this careful planning that meant I soon stopped anxiously watching the number of miles left on the dashboard display and started to enjoy the drive.
I tend to get tired quite quickly when I’m driving, but on this trip, despite being the only driver, I found myself feeling rested when I arrived at each destination, rather than dazed and exhausted after staring at a motorway for hours without let-up.
When I go to the beach or into town, I can leave it as long as I want on a free-parking lamp-post charger, spending the money I would have paid for parking on a few extra miles of charge.
For a full tank, I leave it on a local lamp-post overnight, many of which now have allocated bays to prevent ICEing (being blocked by a car with an internal combustion engine).
Local provision has to be a gradual process, to be approached by councils delicately – my neighbours would be entitled to be upset if 10 of their parking spaces were suddenly taken over by EV-only bays that largely sat empty.
