• Summary of day 14

    August 6, 2024 in France ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Left the apartment with 272 miles in the tank. This would just cover our needs but seeing as we had a 4 hour drive ahead, we would be stopping anyway so it made sense to plug in for a bit while we stopped.

    Completely hassle free journey, beautifully quiet toll road for 100 or so miles before we stopped for the usual pee and grabbed something to eat as we hadn’t had breakfast.

    Suitably topped up, we carried on the journey and arrived at the hotel with 18% charge left. Plenty of chargers free at the hotel so plugged the car in and topped it up to 100%.

    Drove 267 miles in 4 hours 23 mins of driving time. Car tells me I averaged 61mph at an average of 2.8 m/kwh.

    Oh, and you'll never guess what, an hour into the drive, Laura realised she still had the key to the apartment in her pocket!! Well there was no chance we were turning back, so she messaged the owner to let him know we'd post it back once we reached our next stop. There was a post office not far from the aquarium so she managed to send it from there. Oops!
