Part 2 of my Tour of Scotland with an EV towing a caravan. With my Kia EV6 I'm heading from my home in the Outer Hebrides to mainland Scotland to see what touring with an EV is like in the real world. As this is my first time, we are taking Baby Steps and making sure we stay well within the range of the EV6 so we don't get stuck. As confidence builds, so will the mileage between campsites.

00:10- Introduction
00:30 - Arisaig - and a broken charger
02:19 - Leaving Traigh Farm CL - the EV is so quiet!

10:33 - Speed and energy consumption of the EV6 towing on a B road
12:45 - CalMac Ferry Kilchoan to Tobermory
15:17 - Charging the car in Tobermory, Isle of Mull
16:00 - Recap
17:48 - Coming up next time

In this episode we are travelling to Mull via the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, and analysing the energy consumption while towing to give a forecast of what kind of range you'll get. And we attempt to charge up the car while towing the caravan.

Please note that while viewers from across the world are more than welcome, this video is aimed at a UK audience. The Kia EV6 specifications and units of measurement all apply to the UK spec and are given in UK measurements. I appreciate that some markets prefer the stats to be given in metric units, but there is a lot of YouTube content from across Europe where this is already given, and us Brits have to do the conversions to imperial for ourselves... ;)
