After charging at 22kW for an hour or so at the Protos Vineyard (and an awesome tour and sampling session) we launched the cars off to Valladolid.
The council had organized a car display area for the 40 or so supercars but no charging 馃槮
The public charging there was as bad as ever in Spain… Low power (3kW or perhaps 7kW if lucky) and requiring a smart card that takes a whole process to obtain. Obviously there will be industrial power outlets all over the city but how do you find the right person to help you on a Saturday afternoon?
So I called the nearest Parador (in this case Tordesillas) and spoke to the maintenance guy, Lorenzo. 芦No problem Sir. I’ll leave the 22kW socket ready for you on the garage floor.
35kms later and here we are charging (at 27A so as not to blow the fuses, which gives about 18kW).
One day Tesla and others will cover this country with hyper fast charging, but until that day, I’ll be giving Paradores my business.
