Recharging Round Britain Day 1 - 13 July 2026
About this episode
The episode covers the first day of the Recharging Round Britain journey, exploring changes in electric vehicle infrastructure and technology.
DAY 1 Today, Monday 13 July 2026, we began Recharging Round Britain, where we try as closely as we can to recreate the route we undertook nearly a decade ago. Hear our daily updates as we find out what has changed, if anything, to the infrastructure, electric car technology and if its easier or not to do this harebrained adventure. CHARGING SPONSOR Thanks to our charging sponsor, GRIDSERVE, They have an EV charging network that spans almost the whole of the UK. While you can just turn up and pay with a debit card or their app, you can also get 25% off charging rates at all 200 of their locations with GRIDSERVE Plus. GRIDSERVE Plus costs just £7.99/month and can be cancelled at any time, much like many gym memberships, and as well as the discounted charging, there are many other seasonal membership benefits such as EV heathchecks while you charge, pet portraits, and similar. Many people take out Gridserve Plus for a month at a time to cover a holiday or seasonal travel. There's more information at gridserve.com/membership/ VEHICLE SPONSOR Thank you to Hyundai, who once again have loaned us an electric vehicle enabling us to travel around as much of Britain as we can in six days…
