Efficiency in Motion: Plus Chauffeurs' i7 and Tesla Y Recharge en Route

Efficiency in Motion: Plus Chauffeurs' i7 and Tesla Y Recharge en Route

Posted: 17/10/2025

There’s a certain rhythm to long-distance chauffeur work — the early starts, the precise timings, the quiet professionalism that keeps everything moving smoothly. Yet every so often, a moment presents itself that reminds us just how far Plus Chauffeurs vehicles travel in a single day, and how connected our fleet truly is — even miles from Southampton.

This week, two of our electric vehicles — the BMW i7 and our latest Tesla Model Y — found themselves side by side at the Cannock Designer Outlet charging hub, a significant distance from home. By coincidence, both were mid-assignment: the Tesla Y was en route from Portsmouth Cruise Port to Bury, while the BMW i7, having completed a Stafford business travel drop-off earlier that morning, paused to recharge before returning later to collect its client again and head back to Barton-on-Sea.

While passengers stretched their legs, enjoyed a coffee and took advantage of the facilities, our two chauffeurs — both on separate jobs — shared a quick chat over charging cables and schedule timings. It was a quiet reminder that while our work spans hundreds of miles each day, our approach remains consistent: timing, flexibility and care at every stage.

Electric Chauffeur Fleet in Real Use — More Than Just Marketing

Many chauffeur companies speak about electric vehicles — we actively deploy them. The BMW i7 and Tesla Model Y offer refined, near-silent travel ideal for Airport Transfers, Cruise Port Travel and executive journeys across the South Coast and beyond. Cannock, located well over 150 miles from Southampton, is proof that our Southampton chauffeur service extends nationwide with the same level of professionalism and support.

Flexible Chauffeur Operations — Built Around Real Travel Needs

This moment in Cannock illustrated the flexibility of our service:

  • The Tesla Y, fresh from a Portsmouth cruise transfer, was on a long run north to Bury.

  • The BMW i7, representing our executive travel Hampshire capability, completed its drop in Stafford and scheduled a timed return collection six hours later.

  • Both vehicles used Tesla’s advanced charging infrastructure — and yes, non-Tesla vehicles like the BMW i7 can charge at select Tesla Supercharger locations, a detail that many travellers find fascinating.

Rather than waiting in a car park or being pushed onto public transport connections, our clients enjoyed freedom — explore, refresh, return when ready. And when it was time to move, their chauffeur was waiting, vehicle recharged, route pre-checked and timings confirmed.

Areas We Regularly Serve on the South Coast
