The motorways are mostly private, with road tolls. We don't use them for local travel, and many transport companies don't use them at all. Consequently many villages have huge trucks pounding through them

EV's are not the future and the list of drawbacks ; 1) They are too expensive to buy. 2) Depreciate quicker than a sink draining. £30,000pa in the case of a Porsche Taycan 3) Spare parts are hard to get. 4) Spare parts are too expensive. 5) Insurance is high or difficult to get. 6) Tyres wear out faster cos of cars weight. 7) Road tax will go up because the weight of the car cause damage to road surfaces. 8) Services (inspections really) are a Rip off. £750 to look under the car & report the your tyres are wearing down. 9) Software takes control, out of owners hands. 10) Difficulties in cold weather, heating reduces range, batteries won't charge or if they do it can damage them. 11) New battery costs more than cars value. 12) Charging eats your time on longer journeys and they are not always on your route so extra distance is added to trips. 13) Charging costs are increasing road side. 14) Finding a charge point (or one that works) away from home is almost impossible. 15) When you do find a charger there will nearly always be a queue. 16) Charge points to require an app & mobile phone data connection, a signal etc., 17) No resale value, cos batteries only last 3-4yrs. ‌18) Mechanics can't or won't work on them. ‌19) Domestic smart meters control what time of day you can charge up & what cost that will be. ‌20) The price of electricity is going to out strip the cost of other fuels per trip, especially during the day. ‌21) If there is more than one car in a family accessing the home charger has to be rationed ‌22) Having to buy a home charger in the first place. Domestic chargers break down, costly to repair or replace ‌23) The spontaneously burst into a ball flames that can't be extinguished until all the energy is dissipated ‌24) If you live in a block of flats you won't be able to charge at home unless you have a carpark with a charger, but will have to share. ‌25) If you live in a terraced house or a house without a drive, you can't always park close to you house, even if you could there's the problem of electric cables over public footpaths

[@chapmandu2]

This is only true if you charge up to 100% each time like Lee does. If you only charge up to 80-90% or what you need to get to your destination you spend a lot less time stopped. Pattern for me on long Euro trips is: 2 hours, 15 min stop (wee), 2 hours, 30 min stop (lunch/wee), 2 hours, 15 min stop (wee), 2 hours end. That'll get you 500-600 miles in 9 hours with an hour stopped.

[@stevegreenwood2201]

What really boils my p#ss is the big well known charities that have shops on pretty much every high street,. These shops are manned and run by volunteers who give up their own time free of charge whilst the "upper management" cream off a fat salary from the volunteers hard work. The charities persistently beg for donations from those of us who go out to work to support our families and again cream off a large chunk of that donated money to cover "administration costs" etc. Ok a large charity needs an accountant, why can't an accountant volunteer some time to do the charities books, why can't so called management donate their time unpaid? Charities imo are nothing more than cash cows for the greedy rather than the nedy.

Good Evening Lee. That was really cutting it a bit to fine, for my comfort. You should have charged up. If your vehicle had broken down, that would have been very Serious, You would have needed a tow truck what would had to pick up your vehicle with it's Crane facility, then the Transportation back to your home in Mansfield, it would cost an absolute Fortune. You needed more rests, because I could see that you were Suffering from Driving Fatigue, You starting to go into what we call, Tunnel Vision. I should know, it has happened to me a long time ago, it is very Frightening. When doing a Long Distance, it does get very Boring and makes you feel very sleepy. You must have plenty of Breaks and Good Rest. Have a Coffee and something to eat. When, You are ready, carry on with your journey. I am really Glad that you made it Safely and back home in one piece, and Not another Road Traffic Collision with another vehicle, that is what can happen Lee. Just be careful when you are travelling any distance my Friend. I really Care about you Lee. You have a really Good Nights Sleep and Fully Re-Couperate....

Roadworks in the UK are to ensure you don't get to where you want to be at a decent time. There are places where the holes in the roads have been there for over 5 years and there is no chance of it being fixed. There is a road that you would have passed as you used the M2 where there are 23 surface water drains and every one is blocked. After rain the kerb disappears. I think if you put up a road works sign the guys should be there 24 7 to get that fix done asap. If not then don't put the cones in. Anyway we have millions of asylum seekers who should be fixing our roads to pay for their freebies. We could have great roads but our governments won't do what is right as they are dim and stupid.

[@stevec9819]

Britain has 18 road cones for every man woman and child. We use British roads to store them to save hiring 437 air craft hangers to put them in. Free storage. 40 million raised from speeding fines and 100k for contractors to move them down the road once a week. 😮 It's so cunning you could cut your teeth with it.

[@benjilafouine]

OK. Lee, there are too many wees and too many garage sandwiches. We don’t really need all these details. I know you love fish & chips but garage sandwiches have absolutely no attraction. You should concentrate more on EV technology, infrastructure and the EV world as a whole, like the pitfalls and the benefits. Or else, just shorten the videos. I skipped your last one because I have my own life to live.

Road works on the A14 at Newmarket 40 mph but there is signs out telling you that you can't see the work force, but there is one person working in the mobile camera van what does that tell you

[@wayland7150]

It tells me they're using the pretext of roadworks to restrict traffic flow. There is a village near me which has a bypass. In the centre of the village there is a 40 foot section of road which is closed for roadworks. It's been this way for 6 months. I simply moved the barriers and drove through then replaced the barriers. They actually want to close some of the roads and reduce the lanes and speed limits but they have to be sly about it.

[@TiredMorgan]

The UK For Roadworks is a joke - Lee, follow the money is all i'll say. The Traffic Management firms who put these roadworks in place are all private companies. Rent out cones, signage, and signalling. Paid per day for the hire. The longer the works are in place more money is paid to them. (The 2022 rate was 1.25 GBP per cone, 4.50 GBP per sign) If hard markers (studs in road) then 1.90GBP per marker). So you can see the longevity of why these stay in place. Even when local authority is cutting the siddings/grass litter picking they'll use Traffic Management. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Young drivers are the most likely to risk running out of fuel, with half (51 per cent) of ‘red line runners’ aged under 35. Drivers need to be careful, as running fuel gauges down can be a risky business.

I agree with diesel being the best answer for the trip. But buying a diesel is a huge risk now as we know the Government is going to absolutely nail them in road fund shortly. I can also see fuel duty going up as they blindly pursue this net zero fantasy.

[@st200ol]

You can't easily buy a new diesel car now either, lots of car makers have stopped selling diesel models, that means that in the life-span of a typical diesel car there will be very few left on the roads. Governments may also offer much better scrappage incentives on diesel cars too. When the bribe gets good enough even the most die-hard diesel fan will get rid. What does all this mean? Like LPG only being available at some filling sites and less with each passing year the same thing will happen with diesel, supermarkets will stop selling diesel and owners may have to drive to bigger BP, Shell and Esso sites. This will happen quicker on the continent and particularly France where "gazole" powered cars have never been as popular as in the UK. Thanks for reading this far, nobody! 🙂

Thank You Lee, i have enjoyed this series of Euro travel videos. I must say your camera work and video quality is excellent, and your hours of editing is done nicely. Now take a long rest for the long trip across to Oz for that loong Nullarbor crossing 👍 😊 😊 Au

Re amount of roadworks UK v EU - look at the density of population(and therefore vehicles) compared to the UK. Heaps more traffic on our roads - but agree roadworks with nothing being done !!! Keep it up 🙂
