Round trip Europe in a EV: is it possible?

Making larger distances than 75km is difficult with an Mitusbishi I-MiEV, at least when you want to keep the pace in to it and still want to arrive at your destination without sweaty armpits from fear of possible pushing the car for the last mile 🙂
60 km driving distance towards the next charging / rest point is NO problem.
75 km will take a little restraint on your big toe.
100 km driving is driving ECO and driving conditions will take part of your calculations whether or not you will make it.

SO

Lets see if we can drive through EUROPE. Full Electric !
What do we need for it?
– A few “idiots” that have an EV
– A “simple” driving plan: i.e. Amsterdam-London-Paris – and back to where you came from …
– Charging points: official or unofficial. every 75-100 km. Preferrably Quickchargers for cars like the I-MiEV with small radius.
– Sponsors
– (social)media
– A “sweep” car: we do not like to push a car. This can be a very strong EV, full hybrid, plug-in, range extender, or fuel -based car.
– Good weather 🙂

Any other suggestions are welcome.
