thought i'd post about my recent french trip in my ariya 63kwh ..
we did 1297 miles with a cost of £102 for the electric.
charged up to 100% at home mostly using solar energy, then a free top up charge at the eurotunnel before we got on the train..
there were 6 paid charges at various places like lydls and e.leclerc shops and a final free charge at the hotel we stayed on the last day..
the most curious charge point was out in the country side with surrounding fields all round....
there was a little pre planning to find fast chargers before we left but mostly we looked on zapmap at the we needed a charge.
the electroverse card was used ..
all in all a very cheap and pleasant trip..

How did you manage a free charge at the tunnel? I used Tesla and had to pay. :(

Because they are always cheaper. Although you can't beat free, but I still don't understand how you got away with it. I think you must have got lucky. :lol:
