- Join me as I stop off at Tebay Motorway Services on the M6 as I make my way to Lands End From John O'Groats in my All Electric Car to test The UK's EV Charging Infrastructure. I figured while I stop to charge my Electric Car I'd review Tebay Motorway Services Full English Breakfast and whilst I am there I bump into a familiar face.

Just imagine if you were a commercial traveller or a peripatetic engineer- you would never get to meetings. There is no "What if thinking" in this country anymore. God help us. Well done for highlighting all these problems.
REALLY good to see 'Dave' back, he has been missed.
I eat with my eyes! Seeing that “breakfast”, I will pass myself….
More JB JB JB JB JB please lol. Good to see him on the channel, great coverage as always Lee. Respect to the lady who gave you 24hours parking to sleep, yes I agree there are some diamond people left in this world.
To get a guaranteed charging point, you just have to post a beach towel to the address near it, and ask the staff to put the towel over the charger when you are due, ringing in advance!
Like it! Straight out of The Germans' Holiday Handbook.... am I allowed to say that....?
Lol 😂 😂😂
Mr Macmaster, one aspect I haven't seen you mention is that for ladies travelling on their own, some of these chargers are in remote spots or away from busy areas. I would feel very vulnerable travelling on my own.
I stopped giving to charities when I saw the huge salaries so called managers of Oxfam, Red Cross and such grab every single time. I give to people I know, friends and on the streets I invite those who need a meal to join me in a restaurant.
Same here. The amounts raised by ‘charities’ pale into comparison when you look at the salaries paid to the directors and staff. They’re a business nothing less. I give food to local food banks and buy food for homeless that’s more efficient to get to the people who need help IMO.
I am in 100% agreement. Charity ? No, greed !!!
Dunno what this lecture has to do with the video in question but you got it off your chest😂
They also receive millions from government.
I pay enough to charity. It’s called ‘income tax’.
This country is one of the most corrupt ever. David Milliband lost the leadership for labour.
He walked into a million dollar salary with a charity called ‘International rescue’ based in NYC. He got 50k living expenses. International Rescue receives millions from the UK government. He’s not the only one.
If you know how I can stop my blood boiling at these scum, please let me know. Vote for them, I rather see them wiped clean off the face…
I would go crazy having to pull over to charge my car! Better for some politician and businessmen pockets, not the environment.
Totally agree Lee, you don’t need to put yourself through the hell of going to lands end, we can already see the infrastructure for EV is horrendous, it won’t get any better down south 🤣🤣
This whole charging thing would drive me nuts , ok more nuts lol
Great to see Dave,he managed you perfectly at the buffet. You need him around you Lee😀
Interesting last year (Sept 21) Guy Martin did a round trip from Grimsby to John O Groats in an electric car and it cost just over £200 where as if he had done it in an diesel car the cost would have been £140. The video is on TH-cam
@@georgewalker7061 that's ok if these free chargers are on your route and that you shop at these supermarkets where many don't. Again it's that waiting around that is a pain in the ass and hoping the charger is working and free
Your Acting Skills/Sleep Acting is Amazing. Il look out for you on the next ‘Silent Night Mattress’ adverts. The Hippo has done it for too long now 😂😂
Every time you re charge it’s sunny I’d like to see when it’s pissing down raining. Charge stations don’t have coverage like gas stations do.
Great content and an enjoyable watch. The whole roadtrip in an EV looks so stressful, each leg is overridden with the need to look for charging points, where's the driving pleasure?
Only way it will work is for near where you live having your own charger to avoid charge points. I agree, hybrids are the only way for EVs. I like puuling into a fuel servo, filling up for £60, taking a total of 10 minutes and having about 300 miles range with plenty of refuel options where ever & whenever I want
Really nice to see JB turn up. 👍😎😎
Great to see JB again and yes we want to see more of JB 😊 that amazing just seeing Dave just like that 🤣👍this is a great service station and great people serving 👍not sure about the egg 🤔But I love bubble and squeak 😋and that mushroom look good 😋I say 8/10 I've love the lake District had many lovely holidays at the lakes with family ❤nightmare them charging points could send you mad this could 🤪🤯🤣 am amazed you got back home in the end 🤦♀️But remember it's for the greater good Lee 👀👀 🤣 🤣 'one week later' 🥱🏡🤣
thanks Lee, I have been enjoying your journey. If this were a family holiday you would spend all the site seeing time trying to get charged up. I could not imagine children on a journey like that....It would be Daddy are we there yet on a whole other level.
Lee I totally agree with you regarding the infrastructure for E V’s ! It’s total bollocks, and what happens to people who live in flats ? They can’t charge up at home ! It is a total catastrophe with no to little thought given, we’d never get anywhere if all cars were electric
Motorway services don't charge like airports they extort.
At least Dick Turpin wore a mask.
Blimey, looks like they fried that egg, flipped it and flung it against the wall 😆 Great vid as always Lee. Thank you.
Tebay is famous because it’s Tebay and not because it’s been on some reality telly programme. A regular stop for me heading from/to Scotland. Great staff and a great farm shop (I currently have some Cornish Yarg in my fridge from my last trip). I’ve never had breakfast there but will on my next trip in September as that looked great. PS nothing that McDonald’s serves up for breakfast can remotely be classed as breakfast 🤣
That egg wasn't well done, it was congratulations 🤣🤣🤣
I work in car trade electric cars are rubbish waste of time and not the future I totally agree with you keep up the videos we love watching you
Can you imagine this trip with the family and kids it would be horrendous 😭
Hi i was at Tebay services at the end of June 2022 on the way to Glasgow and Arran Island and stopped there again on the way back very nice place to stop for a break 😁👍❤️
Another great vlog lee
This is stressing me out watching this...
All the best from Toronto canada
Hi! Only started watching and subscribed to your channel a month or so ago, absolutely loving the content! You make me laugh and you're always so jolly. We need more of this online 🙌
Good to see JB again & that breakfast looks yummy 😋👍10
Just love your channel Lee matey,makes my day everytime I watch your reviews,excellent work and humour as always.
Thank you. 😎
Oh dear, totally put off EV’s at the mo, far too stressful. Thanks for doing this Lee.
Great video Lee good heads up on the EV Pathway loved the Spongebob inserts keep up the great work
I can imagine there’s being quite a few arguments with people trying to que jump at charging points.. especially on motorway services… loving your vlogs Lee.. 👍🏻
Can I set you a challenge Lee? Can you do a long journey within England and Wales just doing 3 simple things. Firstly only use the Instavolt or MFG charging network. Secondly don’t start charging until your battery is below 30% charge and, as the guy from Ionity suggested finish charging at no higher than 80%. These are the way The Clan say is the best for an EV driver. Be fascinating to see how you get on. 🤔
Here's me thinking t'bay was a Yorkshire auction site.
Hi mate I know Tebay really well as being a trucker the M6 is my second home, but 5 mins away was junction 38 truck stop (caters for cars too) and it will blow Tebay out the water!, honestly get yourself up there and try it!,
Fond memories of Tebay at 5 am, feeding the ducks lol. Brekkie looks lovely xx
A fantastic plan to go from one full charge point to another 😮
Hi Lee, I’m loving these latest videos but can’t help thinking about the levels of stress and frustration you must be enduring! I’m at Tebay fairly regularly and noticed how busy the charging points are becoming. It must waste so much time waiting for a charge if you’re in a queue ( where the next available space could be nearly an hour waiting time). Not to mention the money on needless coffees etc! I imagine an all electric car is ok for very short town drives but I’m not hurrying to buy one until the range, speed of charge or infrastructure improves significantly. Thanks as always Lee for giving us these really good videos.
Love your Broadcasts, I am becoming addicted. I feel a TV Show coming your way. Anyway, no-one is talking about the life and expense to replace batteries. I can't see the batteries lasting anymore than 5-10 years. Therefore, no second hand market and what is the depreciation? Get us a price on getting your Porsche batteries replaced.
Been many years since I've been to Tebay. Was always my favourite services.
Oh man that scene makes me laugh every time i see it 😅😅🔝
Love Tebay, my first visit there was 1976 (drought then too) with my parents on the way up and down to Pangbourne and London when I was 7 years old.
Brilliant vid Lee 😎😊👍
Lee your EV travels are a revelation, I was dreaming about electric you but you have helped me realise that hybrid or plug in hybrid is the way to go!!
Also you have really amassed a motley crew of friends, each one is a star in there own rights!!
Another great video thank you for your entertainment lee 😀
I hope you told someone about the great service you received from the lady at the hotel? Having worked in customer service myself it's always nice to know you've been appreciated.
My dear old Gran used to serve up a plate of bubble and squeak back in the day….my word, I’ve not had any in decades.
Before being retired I travelled the M6 for many years and Tebay was a gem which I used on many an occasion..
that brekky would give me a heart attack, looked good though. We in N Ireland have the best in the world. potato bread and soda farrels plus the best bangers you ever had by a white pudding mile...good vid
Keep it up, love your sense of humour 👍👍
Great vlog Lee. Really enjoying watching this trip from Melbourne oz.
Hello Australia. I'll be seeing Melbourne later this year. ✈️🎥🕶️🎬
@@TheMacMaster Awesome news! I’ll be sticking to my petrol alfa giuletta after this vlog!!
How does the time and cost compare to your home charger.
Home charger is way cheaper and very handy. When at home I have no issues at all it's way cheaper. :0)
Charge time comparison.
More JB please. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
#JB is back!!! The King of Cool! 😎
Lee, not telling you how to suck eggs my friend but it would have been so exciting to get a member of the EV clan to carry this journey with you, now I know You and clan member would probably throttle each other before the finish line but it would be superb to get a EV clan view on how it should be done first hand, however I think getting a clan member might have been harder than finding a reliable charging network. Let’s go green but let’s go green together, no pretending 😱💁♂️ loving this EV journey 👍👍
You were down my neck of the woods as I live near Lockerbie, that service station is Johnstone Bridge where I stop off at sometimes. Tebay is where we stop at on way from Blackpool but it’s not much there at that service station
I don’t drive, as it’s cheaper for me to get a bus to work. Where I live, Stagecoach have a full fleet of EV buses, but when the buses come into the station and park up, the charger automatically lowers down from the roof to attach to the top of the bus to start the charging process. But recently the chargers have been failing (perhaps due to the hot weather I don’t know) but it only connects to the bus for like 10-20 secs and then disconnects itself. If it loses charge away from the station, it’s a good 10 miles away so no way of charging it to get it back home
When I used to go up to Scotland on the M6, I'd always stop at Tebay, best services on the M6!!!
Tebay itself looked amazing for a service station. A very well priced (if visually repulsive) breakfast. Obviously they make up the short fall on the hot drinks.
Loved seeing JB again!
Interesting point about companies taking charity money on round up of bills.
My rule is, ALWAYS give DIRECT to charity companies, never use an intermediate company ( or commisioned street collectors... I. E. The fast harry street charity people who try to get you to sign up to a standing order for donations... They take a massive commision).
Also people like Tesco will do the round up thing for charity..... They then make a big deal of how much they've raised for the charity and get a load of free publicity for being so charitable.... When infact it's there customers who donated the money).
Sorry for my rant!
Cheers
Phil
Tebay is it’s own destination. A deli with a petrol station attached. It’s beautiful, delicious and very expensive. But, I keep going back. Great video!
When i was living in Canberra in Australia my best friend had a hybrid also petrol car in the 90,s and we went to sydney and canberra both ways and it work.
Mmmm an Ulster Fry with proper Soda Bread. Delicious.😋😋😋
Another very interesting Vlog, you are 100% correct about the infrastructure for E.V. cars they're are simply not enough charging appliances around the country . So frustrating for you needing too wait to top up your car, I would be pulling my hair out by now 😩. Was lovely to see your friend again lovely fella, marks for your breakfast 8/10. 😊
What a journey this is turning into Lee....loving it and can't wait for the next one. Charging points are a real issue though aren't they?... what a nightmare.
Love Tebay Services I often nip up from Lancaster to the Farm Shop whilst charging the Tesla 👍🏻
The egg let that breakfast down it was over cooked 🙁
Looks a lovely place for a breakfast. Hope when you do Ireland you travel through dongal .
Hi Lee, loving the road trip and showing the infrastructure gaps!!! Got a Plug In RAV4 - Superb and no hassle!!!
That breakfast looked awful, -1 for me!!!
Keep up the great Vlogs!!👍
Brilliant vlog
Lovely to see Dave
Thanks my friend enjoyed it ….😎😉
@@LanzaJB
When you serve Dave? I was raf fire... joined 89
I would recommend giving the truck stop (just off the J38 roundabout) a try. The last time I went the choices were 6 items, 8 items or 10 items (plus toast of course), and they were some unusual choices such as lorne sausage (not on all the time but it was well gorgeous). I'm not a breakfast connoisseur but I have a friend who goes there all the time, even just drives there and back for the breakfast not necessarily on the way to anywhere else!
I love the lakes, I loved holidays with my family since I was a kid. We did farmhouse holidays, and made a lot of friends with the people running the b and b's. My favourite places were the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway, We also loved Muncaster Castle, Holker Hall, and visiting Cartmel, the famous village shop for making the popular sticky toffee pudding. You should visit The Sawmill Tearooms at Bassenthwaite. There are great views, and the food is homemade. 🤗
Was good to see JB again and hopefully see the blonde Angel again soon. Hope her son is making a good recovery Lee. Great video as usual Lee.
Ah that breakfast looked great! 👍
It’s hard to get bubble n squeak up in Scotland on our breakfast - and I love it as well.
It’s the same with pie, mash and liquor - can be hard to get here too and I love it.
Don’t even get me started on eels - as soon as I have a trip to London my first meal is pie, mash, liquor and jellied eels.
Really enjoyed the video. I always think of refuelling my Volvo S60 D5 Polestar. I can get up to 1,000 miles on a full tank that takes me 5 minutes to recharge and pay...
My home town was Kendal, I spent lots of time at Tebay:-)
Hi lee McDonald’s have been doing a charity called Ronald McDonald house for years and it’s for a place for parents of Sick children to stay when they’re in hospital for a long time. I’ve no problem giving my change for them as I’ve seen the good work that they do when my grandson was in Manchester children’s hospital needing a bone marrow transplant. He’s all good now but without the Ronald McDonald house my son and his other half would’ve been stranded away from home and nowhere to stay apart from expensive hotels.they’re at all the childrens hospitals I think and are all funded by those donations from the small change people leave at McDonald’s. No government funding. Enjoying watching your vlogs keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Starts out with one of the best fake snores ever! Can you keep it up?
My real snoring would hurt your ears!! lol
Lee - you are absolutely correct..20 years till they have a sufficient delivery network.
Tebay Westmorland services are unique, used it many times
Couldn't agree more, I had a Leaf for a couple of years with max range about 150 miles, 120 reality. Couldn't even reliably do a coast run in one go. Family not happy sat in random car parks recharging so we could get home. Loved the car but spent too much time in places I didn't want to be. More JB.
Tebay in sunshine a rare thing indeed. I'm from Keswick originally, often had a run over to Tebay if only all motorway services were as good
Great Vlog , wonder how much time is wasted while waiting to either find a charging point that's working,one that's empty and the time to charge.Not for me , will be 30 stone with all that waiting around😂,.. Great to see # JB back and hopefully in many more to come,as having Dave back is for the greater good👍
That looked nice buddy. I’ve been to Tebay services a few times on my way to visiting my sister in Scotland but gutted I never tried this breakfast as every other services I’ve been to, their fry ups are usually poor. Then sausages looked amazing. I love Cumberland. I love black pudding and haggis too. The egg looked a bit dry though but other than that, really good. Only thing I would have changed is have some fried bread instead of the mushroom. 8/10 for me mate. Thanks for review👍
Great to see JB back.
Hey lee lovely to see Dave again on video should be on lots more when free ..... breakfast looks yummy apart from that egg looked horrible ..... 7 out of 10........ 💯💯😊
Tebay services is close to mine and the wife’s heart, it’s part of our tradition to stop there for a coffee when we go to Moffat🏴 Her family is from there and it’s our happy place, we’ve a cottage booked for mid August 👍🏼
Tebay north is a lot quieter than south.
👍🏼
Their Lattes are lovely but not from the machines they’ve put there recently. Through work I pass (and pop in) to them both regularly and it makes mrs jealous 😂
Gloucester services on the M5 are twinned with Tebay
I met a lady in Corfu in 2020 , her husband was an inventor, she told me he was working on putting chargers in something like the cat's eyes along the roads so you somehow absorb a charge as you are driving .
Lockerbie rip to all those people. great vid lee.
Agree totally with you Lee what a joke it is this messing around. Keep up the good work and great videos 👍🏻
Charity begins at home. Aldi beans are definately the best.
I never put sauce of any kind on a cooked breakfast when beans are on the plate
Love your videos, I agree you will need loads of chargers just for electric and if I'm on you can get some good miles with hybrid cars
Cheers very useful information thanks. 👍 I don’t want to spend hours at the services. Sticking with petrol.
Hi Lee. Nice to see Dave catching up with you. Glad you enjoyed your breakfast. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx
Great breakfast - I often go to Teebay - easily best “service station”.
Clearly 10 out of 10.
Lpg in Oz is great around 50pence/ litre which is half price of petrol. Had my car for over 10 years which is also a good size to sleep in. Some cars are hybrid lpg/petrol which some people seem to like in case of starting problems and fuel back up.
Great video,as per usual and I totally agree with you on this EV madness. Like yourself, I think a hybrid system is the way forward with hydrogen,as you mention. I have a Clio E Tech and I love it although obviously it would eventually have to go ( I presume) as it uses a conventional engine. Interestingly enough, I have just finished watching TH-camr RSymons RSEV who went from - guess where?- John O'Groats to Lands End in a Tesla Model S Long Range in 15 hrs 24 mins driving continuously from 5am. It was an attempt to beat a previous record which he achieved. He had the luxury of the full Tesla system which gave all the Tesla charging points along the way (on this humongous screen) and how much charge he would have left. He did four stops in total, including Abington and Tebay, and didn't charge to the max at each stop by any means, just enough to get him to the next point, which, with the Tesla system is pre calculated. At one stop he showed you how to use the charging gun, plugged it in and that was that! No setting up payment, so does the Tesla costing system automatically kick in...? At each charging point there was a vacant Tesla charger except one where he had to share, giving a reduced charging rate....Interesting, don't you think...So there you have it; If you want to travel any distance and experience EV heaven, buy a Tesla and all your troubles are over. Any other car/ system, forget it! Give it a look and see what you think, i'm still not convinced.
I can see into the future - in 50 years time everyone will be driving EV vehicles, however they will be overweight because of the food they are eating whilst they are waiting and will all look 10 years older due too the stress of trying to find a charger that works.So your two weeks holiday will consist of travelling from Mansfield to Cornwall[ for example ] this will take 4 days there and 4 days back leaving you , 6 days to try and enjoy going around the coast again looking for bloody chargers. Great video mate , hope you called into Stoke for some oatcakes when you left Sandbach ,even Stevie Wonder can see that these EVs dont work
8 petrol pumps can service 80 cars an hour. To service the same number of half hour EV charges means 40 chargers!
