Two weeks ago there were quite positive words at this point about the charging situation for electric cars on German motorways and trunk roads.

But be aware that personal impressions are always snapshots; reality catches up with us a little later.

After driving 200 kilometers in the Skoda Enyaq, all four charging stations at the factory outlet are occupied.

Incidentally, two of the four electricity taps were just pretending, the cable was plugged into the car, but the charging process had not started.

There are no stand fees when the battery is full.

Why can't you drive straight to one of the normal parking spaces, they don't cost any fees here? Oh yes, you should have walked a few more meters to the temples of consumption. We are forced to load on the way back. The app shows a free 50 kW charging station near a fast food restaurant. Unfortunately, a Tesla driver snatches this away from us. So only the stomachs are filled, not the car. It's enough, we arrive at home with a ten percent battery level. Unfortunately, there is no cable in the test car for the normal socket.

Why is the delivery of the new wallbox taking so long? The next day we even make it to the office. 370 kilometers driven. Anyway. On the 11 kW wallbox, it now takes six and a half hours until the battery is full. Conceptually, electric cars have disadvantages; they remain a little adventure.
