Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries
What’s the point, one may ask, of reporting on EV road trips today when they have become so common? Even the top Polish energy and EV journalist, Bartłomiej Derski, recently tweeted that same remark after doing a Poland–Croatia trip twice in two different EVs without any hassle and with plenty other EVs around him. The charm is gone. EV early adopters are no longer road heroes. All the Johns and Kates do the same trips without feeling they are doing anything out of the ordinary.
Tomasz Gać is the Polish EV pioneer who took the trip. He bought his first Nissan LEAF back in 2013 before almost anybody here understood the revolution looming on the horizon. Since then, he has travelled all around Europe in various electric models — the Nissan LEAF, Nissan e-NV200, Tesla Model S, Hyundai Kona EV, and numerous other. Many a time, I recounted his adventures for.
Apart from GreenWay, there is a good coverage of other providers such as Shell, Drive&Charge, and Lidl. However, the ease of using a GreenWay roaming card naturally narrowed our search to this one option. When checking current reports on European charging targets, Slovakia looks very solid, with its infrastructure already meeting 2024 and 2025 targets. Work needs to be done, though, to meet 2026 requirements, and there seems to be no reason for concern.
These are serious improvement since 2018 and the shouting guard at a Nissan store. This subjective view of infrastructure rollout doesn’t mean Hungary is on track with European targets. According to EAFO, Hungary is lagging behind its 2024 targets, so it needs to multiply its efforts to meet the goals for 2025 and further on.. We slipped through Romania then nonetheless and now we could enjoy another easy drive, as the charging stations have multiplied with Rompetrol stations leading the way.
All in all, the travelling experience is worth the effort. EV adventures are always present, especially when you decide to ask for a charging socket at every hotel or lodge you stay at. We all know nothing is better than a good night’s charge from a simple wall socket. Let it drip when you enjoy your evening wine and a good sleep. I promise we will continue to test EVs and charging infrastructure all across Europe.
