As I announced earlier today @RezzaBuh and I are going on an #evtrip. Goal: pick up an Audi Q4 e-tron 35 I've purchased in Bavaria. We're staying in an B&B near the border over night. We use an EV on the way there, too. The only charging stop is in 311km. Once we get there, the car should have 19% of battery left.

We arrived at the supercharger in Pilsen with 24% of battery left. We were speeding 130km/h where we could and the average consumption was still 17.4 kWh/100km. Now we need to charge it for 10 minutes to reach Rozvadov, but we'll probably stay a bit longer to have extra energy for tomorrow.

The downside is that the supercharger in Pilsen is on a hotel parking lot 7km off the highway with no services around, just the hotel.

And we've arrived to Svata Katerina, the last settlement before the border. Here the day ends for us. There will definitely be more fun tomorrow. We will have to deal with the German authorities and none of us speaks German. And E-tron 35 has a considerably shorter range than today's car and I won't use the built-in navigation, so the trip back home will be a bit of an adventure. #evtrip

The infotainment was a bit of a letdown. We couldn't quite get Android Auto working. Not sure if it isn't included in the package or what. Setting up MyAudi was also quite confusing. I'll have to look into it once I have time home. For this trip I'm using Sygic for EV navigation.
Charging power at the supercharger was only 35 kW. Not sure if it was because the battery was at 60% or there is some compatibility issue.
Next stop: Ionity Beroun, 170km

Arrived to Ionity Beroun, another 170 km, the battery down from 80 to 20%, let's get back to 80% and continue. The biggest problem at the moment are several traffic jams along the way.

Ioinity started charging 105 kW which is close to the car maximum. Also the biggest price: 21 CZK (€0.8)/kWh if you don't have a plan. This ride will be more expensive than with gasoline. #evtrip

@JamesHeather To je. S touto cenou a průměrnou spotřebou na dálnici vychází 100 km na 310 Kč. U benzínu by mě to samé stálo cca 250 Kč. Je to ale cena extrémní, kdy člověk dojede k výkonné nabíječce bez předchozí registrace. S ní je ta cena někde na 12 Kč. Doma ze sítě člověk nabíjí za 5 Kč a u elektřiny ze solárů mě vychází kWh v nákladech ušlé příležitosti 1,25 Kč. Počítám, že z 95 % budeme nabíjet doma, takže průměrná cena pro nás bude hluboko pod 100 Kč na 100 km.

our goal was to spend as much battery as possible to have time for breakfast. German autobahns are great when you have such a goal 😉. On the other hand we had a lot of time to get to the destination on time. Hence from almost fastest car (overtaking police car driving 160 kmh would cause me a lot of troubles at home) to still not the slowest. Even thought there was no limit, almost everyone drove the same at around 115 kmh.

we would have reached Rozvadov without charging. I set charge at destination to 30 % at destination. So ten minutes wasn't to reach but to reach with 30 %. And the consumption is surprisingly nice. This is my first drive with the (semi)new Model Y (with less than around 700 km driven - registered only on Monday) and it's about 15 percent more efficient than my old Model Y. However, it's on beautiful but inefficient 20" Induction wheels.
