A guy and three girls in a Model S leave Amsterdam to reach Paris ! Will they get there ? ...



"From Amsterdam to Paris in a Tesla Model S. Visited the Tesla Supercharger in Oosterhout and made a stop for charge and dinner in Belgium. Read the blog about it here:http://www.thenewmotion.com/ervaringe... AC fast charging at IKEA, Paris. Me and my friends from The New Motion had quite the adventure."

ICEd ! and parking on the sidewalk to charge - well done ! -




I recognize IKEA Velizy parking lot here (the closest IKEA from Paris), I charged there once, actually to test CHAdeMO for the first time - for free -



and back to Amsterdam ...

Renault Zoe ICEing a charge spot at the mall !

Renault Zoe ICEing the second charge spot at the mall last friday!

Parked and not plugged in, of course because Zoe can not plug into a regular 200V outlet
Everything about it already explained in this older post






When I came back, there was a DIY ? Kit Plugin Prius II plugged in ...

That reminded me of 2009, four years ago, when I had installed this Enginer PHEV Kit in mine ...



He signaled clearly that it is a pluggin car


A Cycle Analyst can be seen on the dashboard

ICEd at the mall parking in Boulogne

Going to the mall in Boulogne, we went into the parking and my son told me there were charging stations installed now - I did not know that since I almost never go there -  

So we went around the first level and looked for them ... 

and all the EV spots are taken by ... ICE cars ....

This is the DBT charging station installed here times 6; I tried opening the lid, but it was locked, and I do not know what this black cord is, what plug is at the end of it ...

I guess we will see this later, when it will be ready and opened to EVs  

Charging in Paris : ICEd, Smart ED Plugged in, and under the Rain

Oh no ! Another ICE car parked on Electric only spots !

Good thing, the driver was in the car, and after waving at him, he replied 'Not leaving', so insisted showing the Electric Only sign and that I wanted to park here to Charge up ... He finally got it and left ...

We park, Béatrice is taking care of the LEAF charge cord and I check out this Smart ED, park, plugged in and charging 

First time I see one here, it really looks cool

Mennekes charge plug & charge port

We're all set and charging too

Yes , in the rain ... => not a problem

It is all waterproof

Parking the LEAF Rue de Rennes is getting more and more difficult

It was very tight again this last saturday to park Rue de Rennes in Paris, 

I put a warning ticket again for this scooter ICEing the EV spot

I had to move this green delivery electric scooter parked in the EV car spot

Tight !

a Renault Kangoo ZE was charging, first time I see it 

When we came back to the car, a jazz band was playing on the sidewalk next to it; Nice ...
