π We realise that not everyone can afford an EV. Also that lots of everyday people are in different situations. This is just a video about us, sharing our experience.
We also did a similar and long road trip, 4 years ago in a Nissan LEAF, when we "Ruined the Weekend", when EV chargers were less prevalent. check it out !

WHAT IS THE "REAL WORLD RANGE" OF AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE
"Real World Range" is what it says the Real World Range of an EV.
Go to this website:

WHAT IS AN AMPFIBIAN ADAPTOR ?
It is basically a device to allow you to plug a 15 Amp charger into a 10 Amp outlet.
β οΈBUT YOUR 15 AMP CHARGER MUST BE WOUND DOWN TO 10 AMPS !
This device is protected by a circuit breaker, always read the manufacturers instructions !
99% of the time you will be using "Fast EV Chargers" or "Tesla Super Chargers", whilst on holidays.
But we decided to show you this option anyway.
