Day 13 of our trip was a very special one for many people around the world as Spain conquered the Netherlands in the World Cup final. Toby, Andy and Pambo had woken up early to bear witness to this spectacle, and so it was just Nik, Clemens and myself standing guard over the RV and ...

After lastnight out, the first time the team had gone for a proper evening out, we needed a little bit more sleep than usual. Normally any sleep longer than a few hours is laced with guilt as we would far rather be driving and making progress than lazing around, but as the car still had ...

Apology: Dear readers, I must apologise for the lack of blog posts in the last couple of days! The last 96 hours has seen a lot of driving, little sleep, limited internet access, and a computer meltdown where I lost the blog posts I had written. But fear not! RGE is now back online, and ...

At Watson Lake the one charger we had left did not give us enough juice for our upcoming leg to Iskut, but having towed the car before on the way back from Paris to London due to a problem with the chargers, we discovered towing is actually a very good way to charge the car. ...

As we woke up in Whitehorse the next day, the race was on to find the replacement components for the two broken chargers. How were we going to get these components shipped out to the depths of Yukon territory? Or would there be a chance to get the components in Whitehorse itself? The day ...

Beaver creek was a great place to stay for the night, with a whole bunch of really friendly travellers. In fact, we met a family that had just travelled the road we were about to drive, and vice versa, so we traded tales of the road ahead while hunched up over a map. The prognosis ...

Tok RV park was a splendid place, with well kept lawns, an abundance of trees, and substantially less mosquitoes than we have become accustomed to! It also had Fast Eddy’s, a restaurant nearby which as you may recall from the last blog post, served delicious food. This may not seem like much if one was ...

Day 5 dawned bright and (very) early as the team slept fitfully for the second night at Chena Hot Springs. Well, most of the team were sleeping, but the German contingent (Nik and Clemens) were up early to watch Germany thrash Argentina 4-0. They had a good time rubbing this into the rest of ...

Trip Day 4. A few days ago, Clemens contacted the local Electric Automobile Association and told them about our trip. Via the grapevine, a man called Bernie Karl heard about the project and invited us up to his resort about 60 miles north east of Fairbanks. He promised us free accommodation, food, the renowned revitalising properties ...

On Trip Day 3 we set off from our base on the outskirts of Anchorage to Fairbanks, over 420 miles away! The team was up late making sure that everything was sorted for the journey ahead, and then of course we had to be up early at 6am to set off for the first long ...
