Dark days return

Getting to Pau and then Argelès-Gazost was an ordeal that we didn’t expect to repeat. Wrong. What we got:
Google maps sending us to empty padocks or looping aimlessly looking for charging stations. 3 times.
Charge stations several K’s from main roads, then Google maps refusing to return us to the main routes. Thrice.
Ian had a brain fart and clipped something and flatted a front tyre. Guess what? EV doesn’t carry a spare. So we wait for a tow truck in Toulouse on a Sunday and arrange a replacement car. Happily, just the once.
Approximately 500k took 14.5 hours. Sigh.
With considerable relief we say goodbye to the EV car hire Spectacle de Merde.
A small irony is that the Hertz rent-a-car graveyard has abundant charging stations.Läs mer
