- 1,300 miles in an electric car in two and a bit days.
In February 2015 I drove a Tesla Model S P85 from Oslo, Norway, to London, England. This is what happened.
With many thanks to Nikki Gordon Bloomfield who filmed much of the trip.

Robert, if you were going to Oslo, you should have met up with Bjorn Nyland. No single person has driven as much in a Model S as much as he and he's gone to just about every corner of Norway.
Bannor Haruchai Maybe Robert could have found a Nimber task to help pay the bridge toll :)
Model S is just an amazing car... but the free superchargers just make it... I mean it's basically free to travel anywhere forever.
Mateusz Wojtkiewicz yeah because there is no maintance. you seem to know a lot about cars. and if you have 150,000$ you can spend it on a 2010 bmw and use the rest of the money to travel anywhere free forever too you fucktard you can even get a fucking mercedes S class.
ye ye very mature of you to call me a "fucktard". And yes - there's far less maintenance than normal car. BTW I don't want an S Klasse.
ye ye Let me remind you that this "Stupid" Electric car in the long run, will be cheaper than those that you mentioned, and did you know that on 0-60 the P85D is faster than all of mercedes and bmw cars?
Roberto Lafarga obviously you know a lot about cars. this car is faster than every benz and bmw? I think it will barely keep up with a '95 bmw 320i on the nurburgring. not to mention something in its' pricerange :). don't make me laugh. it might be fast on a quartermile... for 2-3 hours. that's not what we germans call fast :). and all CO2 emissions from shipping parts of this car to the factors, the cars to the dealerships, the building of electricity networks for the charge stations, the building of the charge stations, the waste of fossil energys in all the batteries, etc. simply to pleasure a few stupid rich people.
Mateusz Wojtkiewicz Batteries last forever? Price to change it?

I wanted to reply to this person but clearly he's a bit frightened and has set up his account so you can't reply to him. Poor little chap.
Anyway, nice bit of ignorant pro-oil polemic using African people as a joke to make a vicious and cruel point.
Maybe this Zrak 23 fellow has heard of the Niger Delta, probably not, wouldn't fit into his ultra narrow world view. Don't Google it, you'll get too depressed, brutal history of oil companies making sure they can maintain their supply. Bugger the poor souls that live there. Our oil history is a massive seething pile of brutality, corruption and greed, incredible levels of coercion used on governments around the world. But much more fun to have a pop at slimey guilt ridden tree hugging wankers like me with our tofu salads and sandals and mandala's hanging in the kitchen... oh wait. I don't have any of those things. Anyway, he's a tosser... moving on.
fullychargedshow Well said
fullychargedshow Well said
fullychargedshow agreeable... they have been suppressing self generateing free energy technology and over unity generators, when you join elon musk wall lithium home battery pack with over unity you have a closed loop system totally of grid...
+doug ohboy Over unity? Free energy? You sir don't seem to have a grasp of the fundamentals of thermodynamics

If i ever had money to buy a tesla. I would drive it just for fun around Europe.
FOR FREE!
Below Zero why though? What exactly are you proud of?
Which God among the 5000 there is and have been throughout recorded human history?
In eastern europe you won't find so many tesla superchargers,maybe even none...maybe in 2025 that trip will be free
Listen WELSH man! This bloody video is too fucking short.
Andrew Bryant pianotunerbristol I'm so sorry, I am working on doing longer videos, in fact I'm having a meeting about it tomorrow.
:) xx

Don't give up hope. There are other videos on tech development, many of them! Use Google, or even TH-cam to find them. Watch out though, many of these videos, articles and the like, make claims without any proof, other than 'they say so'. :)
Andrew Bryant pianotunerbristol are you jealous? ENGLISH boy!
There's a group here in New Zealand, "Leading the Charge" who drive the length of the country to promote the adoption of electric vehicles and charging stations. They're quite a nice bunch of people, and they're really hoping our government will hurry and catch up with the rest of the world.
:O I live in New Zealand too :D Haha a fellow FullyCharged fan!
Alex Paulsen and tax you... Tesla is corrupt & the elite will profit... The rich don't pay taxes and here is proof... They drive around in a large car and have paid 0 tax that's why the rich have boners with tesla and they own stock
Jon Xenos Here we go with right wing propaganda.
Alex Paulsen new Zealand needs to catch up? Hahaha, I think you guys are good mate, I can just dream my country becomes like NZ
Yes, I agree, but it's better than these assholes driving around in their bullshit SUV's spewing diesel.
Brilliant video Robert, I think your best one yet, at first when Nikki said you guys were doing a model S road trip I wasnt sure but it has worked great, well done!! to you both
You could drive it all the way to Toulouse I noticed on Tesla's supercharger map. At the end of this year you will be able to go to Gibraltar or Turkey.
The supercharger network is really cool I think and is probably the most valueable asset of Tesla's. It will be a huge selling point when they release the model 3.
FDK The supercharger network IS really cool but by the time they launch the Model 3 it will quickly be very UNCOOL unless they have trebled or quadrupled the number of stations, since I for one do not want to turn up in my Model S and find that I'm in a queue behind several Model 3s.
They're also going to have to start charging for them.
Even easier than SC's. th-cam.com/video/7hChPZkl8iE/w-d-xo.html
Hahaha a grown man just became a kid because of "middlefart" hahaha
Fun fact: In Danish, a timetable is called a fartplan.

Excellent watch Robert, well done.
It's videos like this that make me want to get a driving licence so I can graduate from my moped sized EAPC to a full electric car... Also because I seem to have underestimated how cold some mornings can be on a moped.
ye ye haahahahahahahahhaha
If you could work out how to run a moped off flu snot then you might be onto a new golden age of fuel efficiency!
Can't believe I only just found this show.
I grew up with Red Dwarf and love Robert
this show is great :)
LMAO with the happy eggs so funny. You guys cracked me up.
Good to see another episode Robert. Keep them coming.
Are you replacing Clarkson?
nameluS haha, nice one ;)
nameluS ehm clarkson is a man of petrol
@@RR-us2kp he's kryten off red dwarf.......
I have been on that ship in Gothenburg, but never realised you can stay on it. Nice town BTW.
Surprised to see someone at my local recycling center with a P85. They are really smooth and lovely (even at the dump).
Nice review. I stumbled upon your TH-cam channel whilst researching hybrids, keep them coming. Personally the tesla is way out of my price range, and agree that I would like to see more manufacturers offering "free power" at charge points
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing all that you do :)
I am planning to get my Tesla S P85 this coming Jan. Already very excited.
You got?
I love your narration! It's like David Attenborough but with some zing!
Great video, too! I love Teslas! :-)
That was a great video! Thanks for the share! What were your average speeds during this trip?
Lol the part when you were ring to get the automatic charge port open was hilarious!!!!
ive made the journey of 1198miles (from northen ireland to poland) in a car twice already, once in a opel zefira and once in a seat alhambra. Now the thought of doing a 2 day car journey is annoying but when you hit the road its amazing! We went through england,belgium,netherlands and germany and the views i seem were amazing! You get to view the scenery in a couple of countries when the sun is out and its 20 degrees outside with the sun beaming down. If you ever get the offer of doing it i suggest you do take it on.
Hi, Robert! Really enjoying the videos mate, keep it up. If you ever want to take some of your electric kit to the racetrack give me a call! haha.
Just subscribed. Love your channel!
Right after video started, I found how I miss "Scrapheap Challenge" :)
glad to see you
This was a hilarious watch. If you ever come through Sweden again give me a shout, we'll grab a coffee. I wonder how fuel efficient is Kryten? Has he gone green?
"Two Go Mad in a Tesla" !
Great fun, thanks !
awesome video, mate, subbed!
At epa.gov there is an "Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator", please go and check out that 505 kWh is equivalent to 151 l of gasoline when it comes to carbon footprint emissions!
Aww... Wished we got to hear something from Nikki. We hardly see or hear about anyone from Transport Evolved on the fullychargedshow.
GREAT SHOW - LOVING IT.
This is such a perfect car. If I had the money for it I wouldn't think twice. Love this channel!
That is good, Thank you. That is exactly the sort of motoring I would like to see in an electric car, other that the length of time it took you that was a good journey.
I stayed at that ship hotel in Gothenburg. It is very nice and something different from your typical hostel!
I did the same journey a month back, almost.
It was from Wales to the Norwegian border and back, but diverting to Normandy to watch the Tour de France. It was 3000 miles, and fantastic. It was in our Bentley Continental Flying Spur, and the only other British car we saw north of Belgium was a Tesla Model S parked next to us in the hotel in Gothenburg.
Our Bentley managed 24mpg, which is reasonably good for its bulk, and although I cannot afford a Tesla, I know that I'd love one. The Bentley amuses me for its decadent excess, like a dinosaur living out its last few years, chomping its was through the grasslands.
In the meantime our electric Renault Fluence is wonderful for shorter journeys, up to 100-120 miles, more if we want. Its smooth, quiet, relaxed and quite, quite effortless. And, yes, as a Bentley driver I say that, electric cars are really, really good.
However, just as with computers at home, and mobile phones twenty years ago, people are still not understanding why they should move across. Fortunately, the small trickle of electric cars is turning into a flood.
HI Robert, really enjoying the show. Wondering how many of you are involved in the creation of entire show.
omg u are like an old grandpa, goofy and silly. love that. saw this video more then a year ago. saw it today again:)
I spent two weeks driving around southern England back in Sept, saw only one Tesla on the M3. Here in Ålesund, Norway. I drive only about 15 miles every other day. I see at lease one Tesla and have see up to six on the same trip which can be at different time of the day!
Always fun to watch your shows, Robert - I have subscribed to this.
Regarding the Tesla, it seems sadly once again to be one of those things where in order to save money/increase efficiency one has to be able to afford to do so. Just like heat-proofing/lagging your house...
I do love the Tesla though; I hope it's the shape of things to come.
lovely report, sir.
Thanks for the vid of your trip. I think Tesla is the best thing to happen to cars so far, but I was wondering if there is any talk about a RV model, like the Dodge xplorer 1998 extra wide van conversion ? It was gas 5.9 litter, but an electric motorhome with solar panels would be perfect.

This is brilliant.
I do have reservations about build quality on the outside after looking at one yesterday
Did Oslo to Exeter last summer in my Nissan Leaf, and it got a little more pricey due to extremely expensive charging in Denmark. But nonetheless a lot of fun!
+Alecsander Scraaning Very impressed and thanks for the tip, I'm going back to Denmark this summer, will make sure I only use Superchargers :-)
Oh, more electric road trips then! Have fun! :)
Brilliant. Loved it.
0:15 "This one takes the biscuit" I've never head that before XD
i just came along this video now and saw your fun with the word middelfart, it roughly translade to "middle Jorney" (drive jorney)
A P85D video in typical British weather is a must!
At least 15 minutes.
Great video, please make more.
Please do a research about the batteries, how they will hold up after a few years, and how much they cost to repair/change when the time comes?
Good thing you have StarBug endurance training on such a long drive. Hopefully the Mrs will allow you purchase one. :)
★★★ Great Review & literally laughed out loud 😂 {lol} @ the automatic charger opening skit ★★★
Absolutely adore these cars..
This definitely makes me want to grab a Tesla soon. Thank you for the entertainment, especially "Middelfart."
Even if you are not the type of person who giggles
These cars make you giggle
Insane that the car can handle 325A. That's a lot of power.
Man I want a Tesla.
Kael It is, isn't it! That ~500kWh is about 2 months worth of my household use!
Chris Bourne check your units, kW vs. kWh.
Christopher Brenny Right you are - fixed
Glad you both enjoyed the trip. Nice video , thanks!. I see the "but where does the electricity come from" brigade have failed to show up (yet!) Might be that as soon as they see the word "Norway" they get a bit scared. Of course Sweden and Denmark are big on renewable energy.. Germany has "big scrubbers" on it's (CF) power stations.. great Bratwurst.. and I hope you tried the "Hefeweizen". Nice one.
Norway uses almost only hydro and wind energy meaning the whole "where does the power come from?" argument is redundent really. ;P
AIM_SideWinder
However, if the usage of electric vehicles continues to increase; it's going to put a lot of strain on the national grids. Renewables may not generate enough electricity alone.
If Russia and China had an extensive supercharger network, you could drive from London to New York (ya, I know, you would have to ride a boat across the pacific with your Tesla on board) and you would have to bring along the correct adapters for your charging port. Now that would be a fun trip!
I've had range anxiety exactly three times, the first time I ran out of petrol, the second and third I don't know why I didn't. In all three cases I couldn't find a petrol station and I'd forgotten to fill up the day before. At least with an electric car i am unlikely to forget to plug it in the night before
And if you do, you are in deep trouble.
Would you mind mentioning what was the longest time you waited at a single supercharging station?
The giggling cameraman= best part of this video
Nice. The avarage power consumption per km is quite a bit higher than what I expected. Just to compare, I have a 22400mAh batterybank. At 3.7V of lithium-ion cells nominal voltage it has 82,88Wh of capacity. The car has around thousand times that. The power bank cost £12,99 so equivalent amount would be £13k. One battery bank has 8 cells, and to my knowledge, Tesla also uses the same 18650 cells. Basically a car would have 8200 cells (8200*2800*3,7=84,952kWh).. And 325A, that is a huge amount of current...
Yeah, this is just amazing. I think the free charging basically is the killer argument for Tesla at this point.
What's your take on Porsches initiative to built up an entire 800 Volt system for their E Mission models? It certainly sounds bonkers, but would also push the eletric industry even further.
Thing about these cars also is the meter doesn't really matter like on normal cars as it has no moving parts apart from the motors
You should be on top gear and replace Jeremy cowson lol.
Extremely informative, beautiful narration with a legendary host.
I've watched many clips ooh srry, mini blockbusters. Top notch sir
Be sure to post the retail price you paid on that Tesla! (50..100k in UK, last time I checked)
Fab, simply Fab. I can't think of anything else to describe it.
Robert you should know by now, Not to Feed the Trolls.... I would have enjoyed some on film interaction with you and Nikki during this trip😀
I will say it cheaper but not faster as you have to stop every time to recharge and it take longer to refuel . if it was a s class diesel probably does 35 mpg driving sensibly so 2 full tank one to start one refuel in the middle .
Fullychargedshow - if you decided to drive with portable solar panels in your boot then chose to recharge the car using them exclusively, what would be the duration until fully charged.
Considering it's very sunny!.
Does refuelling at middle-fart can cause fire? or is it safer to proceed to next recharging station at Fritofart?
And to imagine i cycled from Denmark to London in 14 days last summer. You can't go more green that that :P
It was a awesome adventure yet a pain in the a*s :P
has the free charging guarantee remained now in 2017? I don't think so.. apparently only cars bought before a certain time
The problem with Free WiFi in Germany is that the owner of the Internet access point can be held liable for any malicious things a user might do. That's why they are so rarely to be seen.
Markus Birth Europe and Germany in particular have a disease called techno-panic. Sure they "could" be held liable for all sorts of stuff, but will they? The remotest possibility of liability through the use of new technology results in a huge over-reaction. The same liability exists in the litigious USA, but free WiFi is offered in many places.
The car analogy to this is the remote chance that the car I drive flicks up a stone and damages a pedestrian or the windshield of the car behind. I'd be liable for the damages. Does that mean I should not drive on public roads for fear of harming someone else and being held liable? No it's a risk we accept with technology we are accustomed to. Invent something new like the internet or an EV and we must stop using or sharing the technology because of 'liability'. Its a poor excuse and example of unbridled fear of the unknown or poorly understood.
Jean-Pierre White: That's what we get for having only clueless people (technology-wise) in parliament who don't realise that their advisory board has no clue either.
Jean-Pierre White In Europe laws are actually enforced whereas in the US only if your skin colour is in certain pantone ranges. Plus they have that "lying is fine" principle in how they implement their first amendment. I think you'll find the lack of hormones and chemicals in your food more than balances out having untested robot trucks hurtling down the streets.
Markus Birth Also in Norway many Wifi hotspots will require you to register or at least ask for an access code in the reception (in case you use the network for terrorism or naked children or something like that), but they can still be free of charge.
New Challenge Robert! The length of Europe in a Tesla. John O'Groats to Malta.
"It's altogether very clever" was very HHGTTG. Great video, fascinating stuff and this is coming from someone who really has no interest in cars but very informative and fun! Surely this should be the way of the future and everything should be moving towards this at all costs, but I highly doubt that will ever happen. Money to be made and all that. Shame really, we're going to knacker this planet beyond the point of no return eventually, and right now that point is rapidly approaching (though probably not in our lifetimes).
RazorwireReviews If those who can afford such things keep on buying and running cars that shift petrol like the own an oil refinery, it will be sooner rather than later.Go to work in a Porsche? Do me a favour!
Would be interested to know what I would need to be able to travel across Europe in an I3.With regards to apps I would need to sign up for or Rfids?
Right only cost 5 euros. what about the cost of using the channel tunnel train sir?
I don't use the tunnel myself so not really sure about the cost of sending two people and a car by the euro train there?
So please can I know what the cost is for that too? As I like to know the total costs!
Thanks :)
I would love one. Although I think practically I will wait for the smaller sized one...
And possibly a few more chargers locally... As there is hardly any at the moment.
Michael Edmond You've hit on the two main problems. Viz; a lack of 'ordinary' (ie, not big, fast, luxury) cars and the total lack of infrastructure. These two factors must put droves of people off. It bothers me, and I get a car every 3 years though Motability.
Michael Edmond Why do you need (Super)chargers locally? Superchargers are for long trips, so if I drive to Ullapool, I need a SC at Warrington, Carlisle, Glasgow, Fort William, Dingwall/Inverness. If they installed one a mile away from my home I couldn't really benefit from it - you need Superchargers on the WAY to to where you're going, NOT where you are.
purrdey I mean any chargers. There is only a couple in my whole town, there are no superchargers and maybe three chargers in the whole town. And they are not even situated in the town centre!
Michael Edmond You're missing my point. Assuming that you are charging at home, why do you need chargers (of any kind) where you ARE (as opposed to en route to where you're going long distance)? If they put one on every lamppost for a 20m radius they would surely be of liitle use?
purrdey because.... i cannot home charge, and neither can many residents in the town i live (lack of drives or dedicated/allocated parking) AND I am a taxi driver, so if i wanted to use an EV for work (which i would like) then i am really restricted. Until they can provide some sort of infrastructure for the many people that cannot home charge then there will be a large market that 'just cannot' switch.
If I had a drive it would not be an issue, and i cannot even park in front of my house as there is a junction opposite, so a dedicated spot with a charger will be half way down my street at least.... (even though i could not get a dedicated spot anyway)
And in NZ where Teslas cost as much as a small house (almost!) Everything else is Nissan Leaves everywhere....we need a big rake.
Hallo,
Nice video, but there are some things I have to disagree.
Using Tesla S P85, in same color for some of our business trips I found some differences as to the presented video (the car is 2 years old with more than 40.000km)
I went from Prague to Göthenburg and back. While keeping maximum speed up to 120km/h with no airconditioning or heating I was happy to reach the supercharger in Copenhagen. On Highway the real distance you can run is about 300-320km anything above and you are in risk going really low on the battery. If you take in consideration charging it is not faster than a normal car, but yes it is cheaper.
And we like our Tesla car :)
Viktor from Tesla lighting
324 А is very powerfull charger. Nice trip!
A decent diesel would munch that drive..i watched an i3 from england to holland took the chap like 14 hours using electric and petrol..on the way back stuck to petrol fully and took 7 hours. Batteries are awful today, compare the old Nokias to an iPhone for example,one might as well have a cord attached to it plugged into the wall, where as the other won't need charging for the next month lol
Until batteries get good or atleast catch up I'm sticking to my classic mini without a doubt
Amazing car! But for how many kms does the battery last and doesn't it take long to charge it? Has to be a pain to find a charing parkingspace in town..
In other videos on this channel I go into a bit more detail about how you find chargers, they are marked on the sat nav and if you are doing a long trip, the car suggests places you can charge on the trip. There are 100's of supercharger station in UK, USA and Europe and they charge the car in 20-30 minutes. There are 10's of thousands of slower (overnight) chargers in hotels,car parks, and private homes too. The charging network is expanding very rapidly. As for how long the battery lasts, no one truly knows for sure, the cars are still to new. My NISSAN Leaf has done 57,000 miles, battery fine. My Tesla only 11,000. I would expect 150,000 miles without problems, then a slow decrease in overalls range. There are examples of electric cars that have done 200,000 miles on original battery, but when battery has reached end of useful life in car, it will be repurposed as domestic/industrial electricity storage system which could last another 25 years.
+fullychargedshow Thank you for your reply.That's really awesome! It's amazing with this technology, really! I guess it ain't cheap replacing the battery once it done it's course but if you have a car like this then it won't be a problem.
+Rade2112 Thanks for your intelligent and well informed response. Much appreciated.
If they tuned the Tesla to do a max of 100mph, lowered the headsnap acceleration, and narrowed the tyres what would the effect on the range be.
1:45 I like how I recognize every single building he passes by.
the distances in Europe seem big, but in north America 1000km doesn't sound too impressive. I think most would like breaks after every few hours regardless
+Lone Star Tick
Haha think Russia man! 5000km doesn't sound too impressive there :) Although there is a guy in Siberia who has a model s and he gets towed and recharged by random friendly truck drivers if he runs out of charge :D
Tesla and Red Dwarf are in my top ten favourite 'things'.
Is there a longer cut of this road trip?
Sad. In Belgium there are not much charge points…
The Tesla supercharger network is the secret sauce that electric cars needed. Other manufacturers could also make the cars and develop them over time to match the model S, but no one else tried to create the infrastructure needed to support them.
What infrastructure? It's just a proprietary charger. Other electric cars accept a more universal charging method. I swear at this point it's like comparing Apple (Tesla) with the variety of android phones (other EVs) and it's just cult of personality praising Tesla while they actually charge you more money to sell nicely packaged thin air.
Well, the problem is that there isn't any universal charger like a USB C that can also fast charge for other EVs.
The regular charging method right now is universal standard, and it charges 40% as fast as a Tesla supercharger. And while yes, there isn't a universal *fast* charger for EVs available right now, don't think it's not in the works.
chargedevs.com/features/ev-fast-charging-in-transition-whats-currently-installed-coming-soon-and-still-years-away/
Hmm...seems to me that soon everyone will have their own proprietary charging adapters. It won't be like gasoline - one nozzle fits all.
3:23 the panels can actually be at 80% efficiency when clowdy...
I'm not pro-oil or anti electric cars or anything, I love Tesla motors in fact but at the end there you said a Tesla is both cheaper and faster. I agree its cheaper, but how is it faster if you can fuel up a petrol/diesel car in minutes and don't mind driving for long spells at a time?
Ger, I do not think that a Tesla is much cheaper than a petrol/diesel car in the long run. With the tesla you have to replace the batteries every 8 years which is 12,000. Then you have to pay tesla a fee for the charging which I think is about 1,500. Also the cost of the car is very expensive.
Mr. Flynn, I am curious how you conclude that the life span of the battery pack is 8 years. I concede that a driver who regularly uses superchargers (bad for battery longevity) and/or regularly charges to 100% (also bad) may get just 8 years or less; but, a properly looked after battery can be expected to far exceed that time frame. My calculations result in an expected battery life of 15 - 20 years at an annual mileage of 12,000 to 15,000 miles per year. I will likely drive my Model 3 only 3,000 to 5,000 miles per year, so the battery will likely outlive me.
I read on one of the motoring web sites that the battery on tesla model s only lasts for 8 years. Obviously we do not know how long they last because the cars are so new. I can not see a battery lasting for 15 years in the circumstances that you discuss.
Padraig, Check with me in 2033 and we will see how my Model 3 battery is doing. Erick Belmer's Volt has 300,000 miles, including between 2,500 and 3,000 charge/discharge cycles (100,000 miles) and including 200,000 miles on the engine. He reports that there is little or no degradation to the battery. If I drove the Model 3 about 4,000 miles a year, as discussed, that is only 20 cycles of the battery. Fifteen years = 300 cycles. The battery will barely be broken in. My life expectancy is less than my forecast for the Model 3 battery life expectancy. Check with me again in 2047. The Model 3 should have 90k - 150k miles on it by then.
I agree with your point but what's holding me back right now is how much better batteries will be in 2033!
wow didnt know you could also fit the hotel fee in the 5 euros!
Gotta say I love the Tesla, I won't be owning one for a while but it's on my shopping list.
Although the price comparison I think may be a little off.. I currently have a 2012 Audi A5 and on a 200 mile trip averaging 51mpg. I bet it wouldnt be much different if anything to do the same trip.
£90 Tesla I'd think would be very similar in A5
I am really looking forward to getting an electric car now that road trips like this have become a possibility. This year I drove 6000 mile round trip to the North Cape in Norway and I saw so many Tesla's along the way, even when I felt like I was in the middle of wilderness I saw a Norwegian Tesla. Makes me wonder why I have a 600mile fuel tank in my car..... And I saw charging spots almost everywhere. From hotels to parking garages to on-street charging.
You have to do these road trips since it is the Jeremy-heads' stock method of demonstrating the folly of EV.
