We then drove 15 miles to the Tesla HPC 'fast' Charging Station at the Ashford International Hotel for a charge while we ate our lunch

In total we travelled 1973 miles from Bath to Geneva and back (1018 outbound and 955 return). The whole trip was extremely simple and easy and I would encourage everyone to get out and road trip

Here's the final trip screens for the return journey (the outbound trip was automatically reset at 1000 miles unfortunately)

Thanks to David Peilow here's an example of what becomes possible with a 200 mile range EV and 17kW AC 'fast' charging... Bath to Zurich in easy 2 day drive ('hard' 1 day drive)

I hate to think how long a trip like that would have taken in my car - considering it's charging rate is about 6 miles per hour
