From Romania to Greece by electric car: how much does it cost?

Automotive journalist Adrian Mitrea and his colleague Dan Scarlat from the editorial team of the Romanian edition of TopGear are tired of hearing and reading negative comments about electric mobility: insufficient range, lack of charging stations, too long and very expensive charging with electricity. Instead of once again entering into endless disputes in the forums, they decided to take the bull by the horns. A few weeks ago, they went on a short vacation with their better halves to Halkidiki. For transportation, they opted for an electric car and after their return, they provided the protocol of their test drive exclusively to Bulgaria. And the results are definitely impressive.

Outbound: 766 km for 118.80 BGN.

Before leaving Bucharest, charging the car at home with 58 kWh for 17.68 BGN. Before crossing the Danube Bridge, recharging with 9 kWh at the Eldrive station in Giurgiu for 8.49 BGN, which takes 20 minutes. Overnight in Pravets and in the meantime charging the car at the Eldrive station at the Hyatt Regency Pravets Resort – 51.6 kWh for 61.21 BGN. On the second day, shortly before the border with Greece, charging at Eldrive Sandanski with 44.7 kWh for 31.42 BGN, which takes about 45 minutes. The same day arriving in Halkidiki with 22 percent remaining charge.

Return: 822 km with a total of two hours to charge

During the short tours in Northern Greece, one charge after lunch, right next to the beach: 47.30 kWh for 34.02 BGN. Before leaving back to Romania, a charge of 20.88 kWh for 18.34 BGN, while the group has dinner in a tavern. The next day, during the trip, a stop with a charge of 43.51 kWh for 30.41 BGN at Eldrive Sandanski within 47 minutes, while the crew drinks coffee and has breakfast. This is followed by a short break at Eldrive Pazardzhik to take 11.97 kWh for 10.76 BGN. The procedure takes 15 minutes, combined with an invigorating coffee and using the toilet. The last stop is at Eldrive Stara Zagora: 54.21 kWh for 48.71 BGN within 56 minutes, in which the driver and passengers have their final meal of the day. Upon arrival in Bucharest, the remaining charge was 20 percent.
