The route

The drive is roughly 1,200 km via the M-9, N-5/M-5 and M-3/M-4. Plan for 3–5 charging stops depending on your car's real-world range.

Plan with real-world range, not the brochure figure

Highway speeds, air-conditioning and summer heat reduce range. We assume about 80% of the claimed range in our route planner — and we always show that it is an estimate.

Tips

  • Leave with a full charge and arrive at each stop with at least 10–15%.
  • Charging to 80% is much faster than charging to 100%.
  • Pick stations with recent check-ins, and keep the backup station we suggest.
  • Charge during meal breaks.
