Day 8: Tolo -> Athens -> Thessaloniki

Tolo: After some relaxing days in Tolo we've started today with our way back. Based on the charging problems in Tolo itself, we traveled first to Athens with only 40% left and reached Polis Park Rizarri in Athens successfully with 10% left :)

 


Initially we used the DC charger to rise the battery up to 40% before we switched to the AC charger. The idea was to let the car perfectly charge with 17kw while we were visiting the Acropolis and the surrounding :)





Quite late, at around 16:00 we traveled on Thessaloniki. By mistake we missed a junction and we had therefore a special hypermiling drive - initially with 85km/h and at the end with 70km/h.









But all in all we did it, we reached Thessaloniki with 2% left in the batteries :D
A Model S 100D would have helped a lot - since the real usable battery is ~14kw/h bigger.

Based on the charging difficulties we've decided to travel home directly and to skip Meteora until next year when there are more chargers available.

The goal for tomorrow: Reaching Belgrad again :)

Thank you for reading and all the best,
Siegfried
