Driving an electric car is something many people are keen on. For many, however, it is too expensive, too complicated and most associate electric cars with short journeys. Ari dares to try it herself and wants to make the most uncomplicated and environmentally friendly holiday trip to the beach in Croatia in an electric car. Can she go on holiday in an electric car in a relaxed manner or is the trip to the sea too time-consuming and complicated? And will she even get there? Ari doesn't just drive off, but lets Robin Schmid evaluate her journey afterwards. He is a YouTuber for e-mobility and almost only drives electric cars himself. ---------- The most important sources can be found here: ➡ You can find Robin Schmid's channel here: / robintv ➡ Source: Article: “The Opel Mokka in the ADAC test”, adac.de, July 2021 https://www.adac.de/rund-ums-fahrzeug... ➡ Source: Survey “Mobility Monitor 2021”, German Academy of Engineering Sciences, July 2021 https://www.acatech.de/mobilitaetsmon... ➡ “Second Ordinance Amending the Charging Station Ordinance”, Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, May 2021 https://www.bmwi.de/Redaktion/DE/Publ... ➡ Special report “Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles”, European Court of Auditors, March 2021 https://www.eca.europa.eu/de/Pages/Do... ➡ Study “On the electrification path: Europe's progress towards clean transportation”, Sandra Wappelhorst, March 2021, European Alternative Fuels Observatory https://www.eafo.eu/sites/default/fil... ➡ Analysis “Sustainability of battery cell production in Europe How sustainable are batteries and electromobility really?”, Mischa Bechberger et al., June 2021, VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH https://vdivde-it.de/sites/default/fi... ➡ “How climate-friendly are electric cars?” Claudia Kämper et al., 2020, Institute for Energy and Environmental Research Heidelberg https://www.bmu.de/fileadmin/Daten_BM... ---------- Chapter overview: 00:00 Intro 01:07 Renting an electric car 03:58 Apps for electric car route planning 05:48 E-car road trip begins 07:23 Charging an electric car for the first time 08:28 Robin Schmidt: Tips for cross-country trips with an electric car 09:04 E-car charging break 09:24 E-car and air conditioning? 10:57 Missing the charging station with the electric car 14:35 Not all charging stations and electric cars are compatible 17:46 Difficulties with electric car charging stations 19:35 Electric cars, batteries and the environment 21:08 E-car plug cannot be removed 23:06 Arrival: Downhill with the electric car 25:00 Conclusion: Going on holiday with the electric car #PULSReportage #ecar #electriccar #emobility ---------- Editors: Maria Christoph, Alexandra Reinsberg, Matthias Dachtler Camera: Chris Hofmann, Robin Worms Editing: Nicola Gehrke Graphics: Felix Holderer, Lukas Brenninger Channel Management: Melina Seiler ---------- We are Ariane Alter, Nadine Hadad and Sebastian Meinberg from PULS Reportage.
