    This helps me a lot! I'm bringing over my home-converted 1973 Porsche 914 to Spain, the ship docks in about a week. It goes through technical inspection in Alicante and then I want to drive it up to home in Barcelona. I've got lowly 3.3kw AC Type 2 charging only so I'll be making a stop every 80km or so. I looked on PlugShare and there are 272 Type 2 chargers shown along the journey so I should be good, but I'll definitely sign up for every charging network before I set out. I'll make a video on my channel about my nail-biting journey!

      @marcusevjourney566  6 місяців тому +3

      Thank you, Lisboy. I don't know what the consumption is for this round trip, but it does not make sense for this trip because I stopped so often. The next video will be Salamanca to Lisbon, and the one after that is Lisbon->Madrid->Lisbon in one day. On those trips, the consumption is interesting 😃

      Watch the video as it tells you which charging apps are available, and if you are coming through France watch my recent French charging video. Then using ABRP and ChargeMaps plan your route, see which chargers are on route to know which apps will be the most useful for you.

    Wow! Where are all the cars? Here in the UK are motorways are full of traffic and in such bad condition. Your roads look so nice! I guess the UK helped fund for your roads thru the EU...

    • @marcusevjourney566
      @marcusevjourney566  6 місяців тому

      In Portugal, we have to pay a toll on the roads, which is about 10 euros every 100 km 😱 In Spain most of the motorways are free. Look on a map between Merida and Salamanca. There are few populated places between that is why the roads are empty 👍 In the UK, it is more densely populated.

      @@marcusevjourney566 I've spent the last 12 hours thinking really hard about all the non-Tesla EV's out there and am now absolutely sure about my original question. I can see no logical or sensible reason why anyone would want a non-Tesla EV. I'll spend the next few weeks giving this considerable more thought, just to be fair. But, the harder I think about this, and the more research I do on non-Tesla EV's the more firmly I adhere to my original question.
      I don't think I'm alone here. Many (most) of the traditional automakers who (reluctantly) ventured into EV's are now sprinting away from the technology as the buying public discovers how crap their cars are (and expensive to boot)... Yet demand for, and sales of, Tesla continues to grow exponentially.

I like to add that with Iberdrola and Endesa X, you can contract a certain amount of KWH’s in advance via their app, For only around 33 ct/KWH. That is really good value. It’s on a monthly basis, like Ionity.
