Route data

This page will be updated periodical with illustrations of our planned routes.  This is the route to the start in Stuttgart, Germany.  A total distance of 697 miles!  You may ask why we deviate from teh optimum route and here are the explanations:

• Via Dunkerque - for Rapid Charge (Nissan);
• Via Lille - for Rapid Charge (Nissan);
• Via Brussels - for social and PR reasons;
• Via Marche en Famenne - for Rapid Charge; 
• Via Metz - for Rapid Charge (Nissan);
• Via Strasbourg - for social and PR reasons.

The shortest possible route would be via 640 miles - via Reims - a much more enjoyable route through Champagen country; however, the absence of 'rapid charging' would demand a journey time of nearly a week!  The route being taken by Transport Evolved (Film Crew) is via Cologne and would be around 640 miles.  Their route is predicated on Nissan 'rapid charging' which may or may not be a option in a Mitsubushi.

As with all EV route planning its a question of trade-offs.  Getting 'rapid charging' is paramount - but pleasure comes a quick second!  Hence we are including Brussels - the Capital of Europe!  It was also 'home' for us 1993-2001 - so some old friends to meet and some great photographs to be captured - time permitting!
