No Charge Plan. Just Italy. Kia e-Niro Road Trip (Part 1)

Is it possible to do a big European road trip with no charge stop planning? Every year we try to drive down to the Italian Alps to get some walking, sun, and great food and wine. This year we've made the journey in our trusty Kia e-Niro. By today's standards, it's pretty slow to rapid charge (10-80% in 44 minutes) so how will it fare? It's a long way and our daughter hates lengthy car journeys, so we stayed at hotels along the way (booking them the day before for added excitement). Finding hotels with chargers certainly makes the trip a little more pleasant although, as you'll see, don't rely on them always working! — ⭐️ Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @mrev   ☕️ Or if you'd like to just buy me a coffee (or my wife a gin and tonic): https://ko-fi.com/misterev Please use my referral links: ☀️ Heatable solar installations: £150 off — https://misterev.co.uk/solar (or quote MISTEREV150) 🔋 Heatable battery installations: £75 off — https://misterev.co.uk/battery (or quote MISTEREV75) 🐙 Octopus Energy: £50 off — https://misterev.co.uk/octopus ⚡️ Octopus Electroverse: £5 credit — https://misterev.co.uk/electroverse Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 01:49 - Le Shuttle, Folkestone 03:55 - Into France 08:33 - Charger 1: Aire d’Urvillers, France 13:28 - Charger 2: Aire de Verdun Saint Nicolas Sud, France 15:51 - Hotel 1: Hotel Mercure, Metz Centre, France 20:01 - Charger 3: Place Saint Thiebault, Metz 22:10 - Day 2 28:34 - Charger 4: Raststätte SindelfingerWald Süd, Germany 35:08 - I love the e-Niro! 36:31 - Hotel 2: Hotel am Krone Park, Olching, Germany 42:19 - Charger 5: REWE Olching, Germany 46:58 - Day 3 47:56 - How to get an Austrian vignette 53:35 - Charger 6: Abbazia di Novacella, Italy 57:05 - Arrived!
