MrsBssll and I are just back from a friends wedding in Portugal. We thought we'd mix it up a little and undertake a european roadtrip in our leccy car with minimal planning, and I must say it went rather well 
We left home at 4am last Wednesday with a fully charged battery and headed for Folkestone then Calais via the Eurotunnel. Once in Calais we topped the battery up and headed south towards our first overnight stop in Poitiers. Day two had us heading further south, eventually crossing the Pyrenese in to Spain with some stunning scenery. We stopped off in Bilbao to eat and sleep. Day 3 was a slog - bits of central spain were fairly flat and monotonous but once in to Portugal it got super pretty again and eventually we ended up in Sintra. We stayed here a couple of nights for the wedding before heading home again, stopping off in Bilbao and Le Mans on the way.
In total we drove a little over 3,000 miles in 7 days, stopping to charge 19 times in the process
We used around £385 of electricity, using the Supercharger network for every stop. The car told us when to stop, where to stop and how long to stop for and it was spot on every time. From a cost perspective I guess this is similar to what it would have cost in a petrol car but frugality was not the aim of the game with this trip All in all a great experience and, now we have the toll tags etc set up, one we will likely repeat in future.
