Driver books extended EV test drive over County Durham hills

Original: Been to an EV dealer in Darlington. Arranged an extended test drive next week as a short one is useless. Going to drive

A motorist visiting an electric vehicle dealership in Darlington has arranged an extended test drive, arguing a short spin is useless for judging an EV. The planned route takes in Barnard Castle, the high narrow roads of Weardale, the steep Crawleyside climb at Stanhope, and the return to Darlington via Castleside and the A68, testing the car on demanding terrain.

Why now: Extended EV test drives over hilly routes interest drivers weighing real-world electric range and performance.
