IONIQ 5 Euro Road Trip Part 1: England to Italy… Just Me and the Dog

Can you drive an electric car from England to Italy without any drama? I set off alone in the Hyundai IONIQ 5 to find out, with only the dog for company. ────────────────── 📋 In this review • Driving the Hyundai IONIQ 5 from England to Italy • Planning the journey with A Better Route Planner (ABRP) • Using an OBD dongle with Car Scanner • Eurotunnel, toll booths and Brexit paperwork • Charging across France and Italy • Real-world IONITY charging • Long-distance efficiency • Part 1 of our European road trip My wife and daughter flew to Italy without me. I followed with the dog in the IONIQ 5. I’ve driven to Italy before in an EV (a Kia e-Niro) so surely it’ll be easier in the IONIQ 5 with its amazing charging speed? Surely! I start the video by showing how I planned the journey using ABRP (ABetterRoutePlanner.com) and then show just how much fun it is using toll booths, getting a pet into Europe — thanks, Brexit! — and what you might expect from the European charging network. (Mainly IONITY). Part 2 will feature my wife and daughter. Get ready for that! 😬 If you want to see details of the OBD dongle and Car Scanner, go here: https://misterev.co.uk/gear/obd-dongle Tweet me:   / tillathenun   ────────────────── 🔗 Links mentioned OBD dongle https://misterev.co.uk/gear/obd-dongle ────────────────── ❤️ Support the Channel If you enjoy my videos and would like to support the channel, here are a few ways you can help. ⭐️ Become a channel member and get access to exclusive perks:    / @mrev   ☕️ Buy me a coffee (or my wife a gin & tonic!) https://ko-fi.com/misterev ──────────── 💷 Save Money with My Referral Links Using these links helps support the channel at no extra cost to you.
