Hi all, long term lurker, first time poster..... I have a pre heat pump M3 LR and am proposing a trip, just want confirmation I am not undertaking the impossible..
I cannot find any reliable data of range impact towing a boat...
My Journey is from the Midlands to Kingsbridge Devon without a boat, then from Kingsbridge to Anglesey..
My supercharger network thoughts are as follows:
Kingsbridge - Exeter Darts Farm 42 miles. get to 100% charge
Exeter Dart - Michaelwood North 90 miles. To not make this would need energy use in excess of 775wh/m ( I've Lysander or Cribbs as emergency stops.)
Michaelwood - Telford 101 miles using M5/M6/M54. 694wh/m is the cutoff on this leg. (i'll have knowledge from leg 1 as a metric, and Hopwood or Hilton Park as emergency stops..)
I've then got Flint 68 miles from Telford and another 70 miles to destination. If the energy use allows that 134 miles in one go so be it, but that would need 512wh/m and I reckon thats unrealistic.
So can I get 101 miles on a full charge pulling a 950kg boat is the million dollar question..... I'm fully prepared to sit with the lorries at 55mph its not a race, and I am aware of the faffing that will be necessary at charge stops in terms of trailer removal..... Oh and this happens at end of January when it could be cold weather and rain..
What do we think?
Thanks in advance
Ewen
