Summary of day 3

So today we drove from Arras to Dijon, roughly 300 miles in 4 hours 51 mins, average speed of 61mph. No dramas whatsoever apart from a maniac in a Renault tailgating or trying to undertake me for about 50 miles. I guess he wanted to be the quickest driver in France but I shall not be intimidated!! Besides, the speed limit on the toll road is 130kmph which is roughly 81mph. Let’s just say I was doing a bit more than that (In a safe and controlled manner mum I promise). The roads are as smooth as a smooth thing that is doing its best smooth moves. This means efficiency is still only 2.8 m/kwh which in old money is about 95mpg.

Charging was once again uneventful, car being charged while we browsed a shopping centre and had lunch and wees. No waiting, no hassles. There is probably going to be an ongoing theme here. Chargers at the hotel too, so full tank of electrons to start tomorrow’s drive to Geneva.

Sorry this is uneventful but this is the reality of electric car ownership. Oh we did get stuck in queue for 15 mins coming off a toll road as someone couldn’t work out how to pay.
I’m going to make something up tomorrow.Read more
