ELECTRIC car owners can travel to some of the UK’s most stunning beaches for staycation trips on a single charge.

Analysis from LeaseCar has shown drivers can travel to locations such as Newquay Beach, Eastbourne and Brighton Pier with a range of electric vehicles. The warning comes as staycations are expected to soar in 2021 while electric car ranges continue to rise with many vehicles now capable of over 250 miles.

A spokesperson said: ”With travel still limited in and out of the UK Brits are likely to be going on plenty of road trips this summer.

“So we’ve done some research and located the best coastal locations that these popular electric cars would make it to on a single charge.

“There is always a worry that you might not make it to your destination off of one charge, so we’ve taken the hassle out of finding the best summer spots to take your vehicle.”

Ford Mustang Mach-E
LeaseCar says the most impressive electric car they tested was the Ford Mustang Mach-E which is capable of 260 miles on one charge.

They said this would take you from the centre of Birmingham all the way down to Newquay Beach.

However, experts at Waze have warned tourist areas such as Cornwall, Devon and the Lake District would be some of the worst affected roads.

Kia e-Niro
Drivers can travel from Birmingham to Eastbourne in the affordable Kia e-Niro.

The car is fitted with a 64kWh battery which provides a substantial increase compared to the old 32kWh battery.

This new tool provides an extra 100 miles meaning the car is now capable of 230 miles.

Mercedes EQC
LeaseCar says drivers can travel to the South Coast on just one charge using the new Mercedes EQC.

The experts said the model provides a “comfortable journey” as well as 230 miles of range.
