minus-squarea4ng3l@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoOur EV6 should be one of such newer models. We just did our first holiday trip with it from Belgium to Brittany. Some key points to note; it’s 20 minutes up to 80% on fast chargers. The remaining 20% is an additional 20 minutes sometimes there will be no free charger and other cars are NOT fast charging while the range was quoted being 480km it’s closed to 320 with a vehicle full for a 2weeks trip with and additional car roof luggage you also need charge at destination. Our last leg was on smaller roads with less chargers In addition with 2 kids it makes sense anyway to pause for 30mins every 300km or so. For us ot was a pleasant experience all in all.

Exactly same experience here, we travelled across France several times and never had issues regarding charging or battery anxiety. As we also have kids, we stop every ~2h30 and charge during that time.
