  2. Vacation summary:

    All in all, the electric rental car did cost 9.06€ Cent per km driven (just the recharge costs). This includes some expensive chargers, as well as some free charging.

    In contrast, the gasoline car was 10.85€ Cent per km.

    Driving an electric car was even cheaper!

  3. Found a "cheap" charger in #Marseille (#France) ... only 8 Cent per minute, with 2.3 kWh.

    The 60 kWh battery in the Mégane needs about 26 hours for a full charge, at around 125€.

  4. The Megane still had a 54% charge, which would have been enough to last until the next stop in Cadiz.

  5. The rental car gets towed (I actually just wanted a new tire), and we get another car at the airport in Gibraltar—it's 2 minutes away.

  6. We're going from Málaga to Gibraltar.

    It's only about 150 km, not a long distance, and we won't need to charge along the way. We plan to drive along the coast to see the sea.

  7. The hotel in Málaga has charging stations (for a fee) in the underground parking garage. Plug in the car, check in int the hotel, and go to dinner.

    After dinner, the car is fully charged and I park it in a different spot.

  8. We wanted to use the 50 kW fast charger, but missed it on the other side of the street. The supermarket has "only" 22 kW chargers, which are easy to operate via browser and very cheap. Definitely enough to get us to Málaga.

  9. A quick stop in Loja. In theory, we'll make it to Málaga, but it's a bit tight. While we buy something to drink, the car charges very cheap (€0.25/kWh) at a 22kW charging station.

  10. Theoretically, we could have made it this far with the remaining charge and wouldn't have needed to charge in #Murcia.

    However, we didn't know beforehand where we would stop for lunch. We left that question open.

  11. The actual lunch stop is at the Área de Servicio La Parada Puerto Lumbreras. There are also fast chargers here, and by the time we've finished eating, the car is fully charged.

  12. Next to us, a Volvo FH Electric is charging with 350 kWh (according to the display). The truck has a range of around 300 km, and is almost fully charged already.

    I wanted to talk to the driver and hear about his experience with the truck, but didn't get the chance.

  13. We are going from #Valencia to #Malaga. That's about 620km – without any further stops. Let's see what we find along the way.

    We'll need at least one stop to charge; there are plenty of charging stations along the route. Maybe two stops, depending on how many breaks we want to take.

  14. In #Valencia, we find out that the charging stations in the Westin Hotel underground parking garage are free.

    The car will charge until after dinner, then I'll move it.

  15. After various sightseeing and geocaches, we reach #Tarragona.

    The fast charger at McDonald's is a good option. By the time we're finished eating, the car is fully charged. That's enough to get us to #Valencia.

  16. So, after going on a lovely holiday, then deciding it wasn't working, @pyoor's Kia Niro EV decided to pretend it was working in front of the Dealership... but...

    It didn't last for long.
