## EV on the Ferry
|

- Drive-on/drive-off with your car as normal
|
||
- **You cannot charge on the ferry** — plan your battery around arriving in Harwich with enough range to reach the first UK charging stop

## On Arrival: Harwich
|
||
You dock at Harwich International Port in Suffolk. From here head northwest toward your England stops and ultimately the Isle of Man ferry at Heysham or Liverpool.
|
||
|
||
- **First UK charging stop:** Colchester (20 min from Harwich) has multiple rapid chargers. Good place to top up before deciding your route north.
|
||
- **Currency:** GBP from here. Cards accepted everywhere but have some cash for rural spots.
|
||
- **Driving:** Left side of the road from the moment you leave the ferry.
|
||
