Day 3: Thessaloniki -> Tolo / Nafplio - Tolo is simply a lovely town :)

Although quite crowded in summer, Tolo is always a very lovely town. But let us start from the beginning:

Thanks to Fortizio, we've been able to charge with 17kw in Thessaloniki and to fill the battery completely :D Thank you Dimitris :)

500+km are quite a distance for a one shot drive with air conditioning and 2 friends on board, but we managed it quite well to Athens - slow driving of course :D

The weather was perfect, maybe a little bit warm (+36°C), but all in all we had a really enjoyable ride to Athens including air conditioning :) Greece you are wonderful!

Thanks to Thanos, we had the chance to meet a new friend in Athens and had a great time there, thank you a lot for the nice talk :)

Afterwards some more impressions from Athens:

 With 70% we've traveled on to Tolo (nearby to Nafplio) :D

Thanks to the owner of the apartement in Tolo, we've been allowed to connect the car to the power grid of the room :)
During our dinner at least someone played around with our cables but still everything was working - slowly ;) 190V/10A ;)

Afterwards some more impressions from Tolo:

 Yes he's making pictures from our food ;) Me too :D

Day 2: Belgrad -> Thessaloniki - Greece is simply Greece :D

Hello together,

today, one day faster than last year and on a shorter route, we've made it to Greece again - we've reached Thessaloniki today :D

But let us start slowly:

Thanks to the charger at the Holiday Inn in Belgrad we got the chance to start completly charged :D

Just some meters before the Serbian / Bulgarian border, a short break was needed ;)

Welcome to Sofia:

and the one and only 50kw charger.... There are a lot more 22kw charger within Sofia but only this one was / is able to charge with 50kw...the only drawback, it is on the other side of the city and you will need 40min in one direction from the highway to the charger...

One good thing to know: There is a local company with more than 55 cars and it looks like all of them try to charge there... In our case, 3 cars where in front of us waiting for the ChaDeMo charger ;)

Finally and fully charged (80%) we traveled on...

and we've manged to find another ChaDeMo only ~60km away from Sofia on the way down to Thessaloniki :D It was also charging full speed with ~50kw

With our thoughts already at the next and last ChaDeMo before the border to Greece we left... only to find out that this charger was blocked by 2 chains of a local Peugeot dealer :/ so no more charging before entering Greece :/

and finally we reached Greece :D

Afterwards some impressions from Thessaloniki without the really very very busy traffic for an Austrian guy ;)

Polis Park where we charge our car for our ride to Athens tomorrow.

Since some failure in planning happend, we've to hypermile to Athens tomorrow -> 505km with a 90D - possible but only with 100km/h or less ;) Maybe we meet tomorrow some other EV colleagues :D Let's see :D

Day 1: Graz -> Belgrad - What a young city :)

Today we've finally started our trip to Greece :D

Since only one Supercharger was available on our way to Belgrad, we had to stop at Maribor ;)

and we simply ordered to much, thanks to the only online ordering system ;)

After charging to 100% we' traveled on via Zagreb, were we've charged at IKEA with an ELEN card from the service desk some percent and then a few kilometers again (about +100km) at the rest area Nova Gradiska (south) some percent.

and then finally we've made it to Belgrad :D

and we finally reached the Holiday Inn Hotel (not the Express one) at Belgrad :D

They are offering 3 EV-parking spaces :D

Some impressions from Belgrad city:

an appropriate beer for a Tesla driver ;)

Good News Everyone - Charging Card for our Greece roadtrip has arrived :D

Starting with 1st August 2017 you're in need for an Fortizo charging card, which I've ordered last week on Friday and received today :D
