Yep, the electrons don't move as fast in the cold weather.
Download ARBP and PlugShare apps if you don't have them already. ARBP in particular will help plan your charging stops along the route. I'm pretty sure there's plenty of fast chargers around the border now so you shouldn't have needed to use a slow charger unless you wanted to.

Circle K @ M1 J7 has a row of fast chargers.

Put more air in the tyres in the cold weather.Also keep it below 100 and it will last longer.

So leaving the gaff at 84% ya had to charge twice to get there and back?
Me and ‘er indoors went to Belfast there start of November for few days, filled the tank in the car (1999 Merc E200, 2.0 petrol) @€89 before we left averaged around 33mpg and done a lick over 400 miles out of the tank.
Got sloppy seconds of a run to Galway there two week back from the port, chap before me couldn’t take the fare (vw Id4) as the pax didn’t want to wait half way down to charge. Cost me in diesel €44
