"Electric cars are getting better and better in terms of drivability, performance, range and tech. The charging network here in Europe, where I live, is also improving at a rapid pace. Now you can pretty much go anywhere and do anything in an EV, attempting trips that a few years ago would probably have been very difficult or best tackled in a combustion car."
"This year, I'm taking part in Eurocharge by Schaeffler, where I'll be driving eight new electric cars around some of Europe's most renowned mountain passes. The trip, which should only be mildly stressful thanks to ever-improving EVs and charging networks, will start off in Bucharest, where I'm based, and as an early treat, we'll go over the Transfăgărășan. Yes, that's the road Jeremy Clarkson raved about 15 years ago. No, I won't shut up about it either, because it's still ridiculously good."
Electric cars have improved substantially in drivability, performance, range and technology. The European charging network has expanded rapidly, enabling long-distance EV travel that was previously difficult. A Eurocharge by Schaeffler drive will take eight new electric cars across Europe’s most renowned mountain passes, beginning in Bucharest and including the Transfăgărășan. The route crosses Hungary, Austria, Switzerland and Italy and visits Stelvio, Pordoi, Gardena, Furka, St. Gotthard and Grossglockner passes. Organizer Autocritica will cover charging, tolls and accommodations. Driving will emphasize everyday behavior rather than aggressive maneuvers. The journey will be documented with photographs and detailed records of charging and driving.
