Driving an Electric Vehicle in Italy

[@StephenButlerOne]

Them stairs are crazy. Imaging drinking a couple bottles of wine on that roof. I think id sleep up there.

[@marcusevjourney566]

This house is not built for people who like to drink. 😂👍

[@INSIGHTSAU]

Small world. We just drove from Portugal to Italy in our e208 same colour. Currently in Todi. We may see you on the road!

[@marcusevjourney566]

Fantastic. That must be a great trip from Portugal to Italy in an e208 👍

21:51 mobi e sometimes is better 😂

[@marcusevjourney566]

Indeed, Italy needs Mobi.E 🤣👍

[@rejaulkarim2853]

i have a few questions? Germany to Portugal Route Those Ev charging points possibly to pay by credit/ debit card ?

[@marcusevjourney566]

Most charging points I have encountered do not allow you to pay by credit/debit cards.

[@rejaulkarim2853]

Do you recommend me any applications those working in Germany , Spain and Portugal EV charging points stations

[@marcusevjourney566]

I do not know for Germany. In Spain you need many different charging cards, I did a video about it that you can watch called "Charging an electric vehicle in Spain 2023". In Portugal use Miio or Wenea. In Portugal I recommend that you order a card from Miio, just in case of 4G/5G issues.

@marcusevjourney566 thanks for your kind response

[@rejaulkarim2853]

@marcusevjourney566 Do you recommend me any Ev apps for France , which I can use all over the France .

Bom pianista

Deve está a falar da minha filha 🤣

[@leesmith9299]

ha, and the top of the stairs is the best place to get drunk and fall your way down after.

[@marcusevjourney566]

That was my biggest worry 😜

Em Itália é ir buscar uma boa pasta, e gelados

[@marcusevjourney566]

É verdade.

[@samisuvanto3187]

I am pretty new to this stuff and I am shocked to hear that it would be cheaper with petrol? Why would you ever choose to use electric vehicle??? I am lost now

[@marcusevjourney566]

@@samisuvanto3187 It seems to be expensive in Italy where I charged. Perhaps if I had used Tesla or Ionity chargers it would have been cheaper, I don't know. Obviously if I had the opportunity to charge at home or hotels it would have been cheaper. I don't know why electricity is so expensive in Italy 😐

[@thelifeofbatteries2603]

I rented a Polestar 2 in Germany for 3 days for 100euro and it had to be returned with 80% or more, very easy. i was in Italy last month and just used Tesla superchargers for around 36c, no way would i pay what you did

[@marcusevjourney566]

I never understand it, to rent amazing EVs in Germany or the Netherlands is super cheap. In Southern Europe rental is always more expensive 🤔. I paid around 250 € for the e208. If I was driving from Milan to Rome in a Tesla, then Tesla chargers make sense. However there were no Tesla chargers 150 yards from my apartment, where I needed them 👍. Tesla chargers for non Tesla EVs in Italy are 0.58€ per kWh. Which company did you rent your car with in Germany?

[@thelifeofbatteries2603]

@@marcusevjourney566 I also had the Tesla subscription for 1 month which drops the price, Mogliano drops from 67c to 50c etc. I rented the car from Hertz, the current price for 3 days in Stuttgart is £69 😀

[@contra_plano]

My Ten years old Zoe gives more information

[@marcusevjourney566]

Yes, the Zoe gives much better information. The e208 is great but the EV information is lacking.

[@JorgeniLund]

Marcus, you're making this difficult . It can never be your task to promote the friendly views of Italy. Driving slowly through Italy was beautiful. Otherwise, I agree with that country's charging tariffs. It was high to say the least.

[@marcusevjourney566]

I get paid by the Italian Tourist board 🤣👍. However I am still waiting for them to send me some Liras.
