Mike drove from Harrogate to Birmingham in his Kia e-Niro 64kWh 2020.

Introducing your road trip 

My first return trip beyond the car’s maximum range, Harrogate to Birmingham. For a rapid recharge I had not only a plan B, but plans C, D, E & F. Plan A was inside a multistorey car park undergoing refurb. Plan B was a single, occupied charger, although no sign of the driver. Plan C had 2 unoccupied chargers and worked fine. How times have changed!

Planning & preparation

See above – this was 4 years ago.

Did you encounter any great driving roads on your road trip? If so, where were they and why were they great?

The motorway!

The KIA e-Niro

Worked 100%

Road trip conclusion 

Planning ahead is essential in the early days. Less so now, but still not as easy as petrol.
