Well another summer another Dan trip to France.
Just arrived in Reims - left London this morning starting with 90% charge. An easy drive to Folkestone (no traffic delays) so an easy top up back to 90% before getting on the Shuttle.

Drove somewhat above the French speed limit for a bit so stopped off a little earlier than planned for a splash and dash using the Octopus Electroverse card to sort payment before continuing on to my first destination- Reims.

A remarkable number of EVs on the Eurotunnel but otherwise a completely trouble free journey so far….

Nice, my wife gets range anxiety when it’s got 100miles left and we are nipping to town 5 miles away!
At least I’m getting 160miles full charge with the warmer weather

I think at 90% the GOM says something like 286 miles.

I may have seen 145mph at one point. Allegedly. It was in Kmh so couldn’t be sure. That burns the range…

So a couple of days in Reims, one in Chantilly and now to Paris for some Olympics.

500 miles down so far, average of 310Wh/mole. It’s been incredibly hot and humid.

Two more charges done too - one on a 150kW Hypercharger using the Octopus Electroverse card at 42p/kWh and also a nice overnight 100% charge freebie as the hotel in Chantilly had a Tesla destination charger.

Olympics hockey
Wonder how much water they have to use on these AstroTurf pitches?

Judging by your pics Dan I wouldn't want to be caught unawares in the firing line. I remember seeing them watering at the 2012 Olympics. Presumably theres no shortage of water over there currently?

Athletics at the Stade de France - awesome

Men’s road race - awesome - and over in a flash!

Final charge whilst wine shopping at the Carrefour hyper market at Cite Europe.

Spot the difference between the advertised charge rate and the actual charge achieved!

Mind you I wish I’d checked the price before I filled up - turns out this was 82p/kWh - the most expensive electricity I’ve ever used - cost me £54…

Back home - took 4 hours to drive from Folkestone to Twickenham. Ridiculous. But there we go - 787 miles, 239kWh consumed at an average of 303Wh/mile overall.

Charging in France not using the Tesla Superchargers was essentially flawless with the Octopus Electroverse card.
