The hotel in Belgrade was really nice, not cheap but definitely worth it. Very nice and clean and friendly staff. It was raining though and hence I did not have the chance to enjoy Belgrade. Ordered some food from Wolt and next morning went to the gym for a quick run. Expecting that the bad day of EV chargers was gone.
Before getting on the road some one wanted to drive an EV. Super ok for me, because the entrance and exit of the underground parking of the hotel was - lets say - spectacular. See the video.

Assuming that the journey would go smooth from now on was a false expectation.
After fighting for an hour with another HPC Charger (paid) at OMV, and a nice chat with a UK family.. Well they were super cool. Couple, Baby, Dog and did a two months trip thru Europe including Turkey, Balkans and others with a BMW iX3. Ah yea, fighting with the charger, called the hotline, called Audi. Nobody could help. Found another CCS 50 kWh charger on the go which would bring me to the border of Serbia to Skopje, but then? Met Bulgarians at the charger and talked a bit. Anyways, I needed to find another charger prior crossing the boarder as I expected to have no chargers in Skopje (North Macedonia).

Oh and there was this Armageddon rain, see video.

So luckily there is this awesome hotel in the middle of nowhere, probably they let me charge if I eat at their restaurant or pay the electricity. I assumed, calling them this wouldn’t be the fact. I was really pissed, searched for other opportunities, but nothing. Well, booked and drove in. The hotel was huge. Very high standard and clean. Friendly staff. Food nice. And.. a perfect Gym. So, second run that day :)Baca lagi
