A Romanian EV owner drove an electric car 3,000 miles across Europe to see if it was doable.
And it was.
Not only that, he said it was easy.
And he also said it can be cheap if you stick to a strict rule.

This was basically an experiment, and it went well
The man behind the Autocritica Instagram account said he and some of his colleagues drove several electric cars across Europe – around 3,000 miles in total – to see if it was possible to cover long distances with an EV.
Not only was it possible, it was also easy.
Just as easy as driving an internal combustion car, according to him.
The goal was to drive across several European countries to test the charging network.
That meant driving across countries like Switzerland, where the charging infrastructure is excellent, but also countries where the charging network is still not great.
He said they had no trouble at all.
But he also said they spent a lot more money than they could have because they mostly used public fast chargers.
“If your goal isn’t to rack up as many daily miles as we did, then fully charging overnight at your hotel, which is often free, can drastically reduce the cost. We only used public fast chargers, which are a bit expensive,” he wrote.
So, as it turns out, being an EV owner is finally easy, according to this driver anyway.
Europe is quickly adopting EVs
Sales of electric cars are rising across the board in Europe.
Everyone’s familiar with Norway’s unique case, but even people from more EV-skeptic countries are buying EVs now.
In fact, more EVs are being sold in Europe than anywhere else other than China.
Mind you, things are rather different outside of the Old Continent as EV adoption is still relatively slow in several other markets.
There are interesting exceptions, though.
In January 2024, Ethiopia became the first country in the world to ban the import of internal combustion cars.
