On a long run 250Wh per mile is relativity easily achieved with 20" wheels, and in temps above 10c, so 360 miles on 100% charge, bottom buffer isn't huge but power loss isn't that bad at close to 0% and the charging speed is still good if you need to rapid charge averages 150kW from 3-60% and tapers off hitting 100kW at 73%, about 25 mins to do 5% to 75%, with the obvious fact that 5% is 18 miles gives you a bit more wiggle room for chargers failing etc.

Distance to Prestwick is about 350 miles, plus a 20 mile ish detour for my mum to make me a cup of tea, so I’ll need to do a charge at some point toward the end of my @Journey

Given it only has just under 5000 miles on it currently I was considering the train or flying to save the mileage but it should make for a nice round trip and a good test if I do it!

Loads of chargers on the M6 so you'll be fine!

Just driven from Telford to Ayr Scotland sat at around 65mph in Eco mode and managed to get 3.8 mkwh and managed 255 miles before charging. Not bad considering KIA say 3 max and 206 mile range.

Also had my first charge since having EV’s at 240kw car fans were going nuts but it charged stupidly quick. Probably as it was 32c outside.

Once I found the actual connected drive store, I installed it

I'd take a look at the spotify app and see what bitrate it is delivering; normal/high/lossless ?
when I looked at BMW apps, the native app, using their sim, wasn't delivering same quality as a wired/wireless spotify via car play
1 currently use lossless spotify via car play - but that's getting on to to 1gB an hour so I'd need a bigger data subscription if I travelled more
