Day 4:

What a crazy day ;)

When we woke up at 7 for the breakfast we had to recognize that our car has been disconnected from the energy :/ Therefore we had 16% less energy as planned/thought in our car.
Thanks to Dimitris from Foritzo, who informed us about the no longer working chargers in Larissa and Volos, we got the hint from him to drive to the local BMW dealer in Larissa.
First we got a little shock, when we saw that the local typ 2 charger has only one phase - meaning charging is /was only possible with 3,6kw :/ Thanks to the most friendly guys from the service team, we weare allowed to use our 3-phase adapter to charge the car :D Thank you so much for your help @BMW Larissa
All in all we had to wait nearly 5hours until the car was full enough to travel on to Athens - originally we planned the stay in Volos and to visit the sea in the mean time ;)
However thanks to the BMW service team and Dimitris (thank you so much!) we finally made it to Athens - which is really a busy city. Thanks to the ChaDeMo charger of Fortizo we managed to recharge the car completely within 2hours - we had some thermal problems with the ChaDeMo charger, so the car decided to throttle the power ;)

All in all a great day and tomorrow we will finally reach Tolo (close to Nafplio) which is 140km away from here.

Afterwards some pictures :)

P.S: and yes we really did it - driving with ~80% 370km... on a Model S 70D. Simply awesome when you see what this car can do for you if you simply need it.

Comment from Anna: The people from BMW in Larissa were just...unbelievable. They warmly welcomed us and helped us so much. Thank you for your hospitality. I knew that the greek people are extremly friendly and helpful but you guys stired me to tears. Thank you for everything :)
