Part 6 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.

00:16 - Intro, and Morvich CAMC Site
02:14 - Drive from Morvich to Kyle of Lochalsh
04:06 - Tour of EV Car Charger at the Skye Bridge, Kyle of Lochalsh
06:22 - Tour of EV Car Charger at Kyleakin, Isle of Skye + drive to Broadford
07:46 - Tour of EV Car Charger at Broadford, Isle of Skye
08:24 - Broadford to Uig, Isle of Skye
10:30 - Uig to Lochmaddy with CalMac Ferries aboard the mv Hebrides
13:36 - Overall analysis of range, consumption, energy cost, cost per mile
We start this episode back at Morvich Caravan and Motorhome Club Site. After a lovely walk, we hitch up and head home to the Outer Hebrides via the Isle of Skye. On the way we check out three charging points in the Lochalsh and Skye region and answer the question 'How easy is it to charge an EV with a caravan attached?'
After a stunning drive across the Isle of Skye, we sail with CalMac Ferries from Uig to Lochmaddy in North Uist aboard the mv Hebrides.
Once home in North Uist, we return to where we started at the Claddach Kirkibost Centre and offer a round-up of the mileage, overall energy cost, and cost per mile of the trip.
If you would like more in-depth details about the stats from this trip, or to see how I arrived at the figures I did, please check out my Newsletter, 'Streamlining' at: andrewditton.substack.com
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... ;)
