From Andrew Till / Mr. EV
.

In part one we drove 1,354 miles / 2,179 km from Canterbury to the Italian Alps in a Kia e-Niro, doing the unthinkable and not planning where we’re going to charge. https://youtu.be/H7Xrc7OO4rA

How did it go? Perhaps better than expected!

In this part, we spend some time in the Alps (walking and eating, mainly) before heading back home, stopping in Amsterdam on the way.

Get ready for beautiful views, delicious food, bad hotel reviews, a crap 12v battery, dodgy German chargers, and some of the usual family grumpiness.

If you want to get a 12v car starter (and I consider it essential kit, whatever car you have), here’s a link to one similar to mine.
