- My annual trip to the mountains, but this time accompanied by a friend in his new Mercedes EQC, on his first EV road trip.
Hey, use my link to sign up to Octopus Electroverse & we both get charging credit!
electroverse.o...
WLTP range is similar at just over 250 miles.
The Merc has max 110kw charging and the Audi sustains 150kw.
Merc battery is 85kWh gross, 80 usable. Etron 95gross, 86 usable.
Both are dual motor with heat pumps.
Audi boot 569 litres, Merc 500.
Payment was by MercedesMe Charging account L in the EQC and Octopus Electroverse or Ionity passport in the etron.
21 different motorway service area charging hubs to choose between, made 4 stops, but the chargers were far busier than ever before. It was a peak travel day in France
See my video shorts for bip&go toll tag and for fast charging in France plus my video on how to pay for charging in France.
I got sick 4 days in so couldn’t get much EQC footage on the trip.

Mind yourself
Hope you have recovered.
Doing well thank you
Hope you made it back ok and feeling better. Did you go with just standard tyres and snow socks and/or chains or did you upgrade to winter tyres?
I’m on standard summer tyres. The car does better than I expected in snow. I carry socks and chains. Socks are quick and easy to fit for short use. Chains would go on if they were likely to be on for longer. I’ve used all season tyres (Vredestein Quatrac) on my previous car - they are outstanding in severe weather.
Flippin heck, the 2nd half of the video was a bit shocking. I assume the wife drove back ok and that you are on the mend, I do hope so. I've just been plotting my route to Dortmund tomorrow, on the elli app. Do you think its worth having an Electroverse account as well?
Either Elli or Electroverse would suffice. Have the Tesla app too are there quite a lot of superchargers around. ruclips.net/video/SCka6tcOV4M/видео.htmlsi=mtVv-1J7YBKjWUGi
I’m getting a lot better, Thank you. And yes, Fiona did most of Saturdays driving. I drove Sunday for the final leg to the ferry.
Thanks for the great video I assume you were travelling at the weekend? On my recent trip to the 3 valleys charging points was good and free on the trip down mid week but would have been a disaster coming back at the weekend I was in an ICE car but planning next in an EV don't think I could charnce it at weekend. Do you have recovery insurance?
Went out first Saturday of Feb half term (Friday night ferry). Usually a very busy travel day.
I have European breakdown cover from RAC as well as the warranty cover. Glad I had travel insurance.
