My wife and daughter flew to Italy without me. I followed with the dog in the IONIQ 5. I’ve driven to Italy before in an EV (a Kia e-Niro) so surely it’ll be easier in the IONIQ 5 with its amazing charging speed? Surely!
I start the video by showing how I planned the journey using ABRP (ABetterRoutePlanner.com) and then show just how much fun it is using toll booths, getting a pet into Europe — thanks, Brexit! — and what you might expect from the European charging network. (Mainly IONITY).
Part 2 will feature my wife and daughter. Get ready for that! 😬
