He went from Serbia to Greece "on electricity": Here's how much he spent
Danilo Paunović bought an electric vehicle, and with his wife, he embarked on a 1000-kilometer trip to test the vehicle; this is his experience.
TL;DR
- Danilo Paunović tested his electric vehicle on a 1000km trip from Serbia to Greece.
- He experienced an initial setback with a non-functional charging station in Serbia.
- Successful and fast charging was achieved in Predejane, Serbia, and later at a 300 kW charger in Thessaloniki, Greece.
- The cost for the 1000km trip was significantly lower (up to three times less) than for gasoline or diesel vehicles.
- The ride was noted as quieter and more comfortable.
- The charging network is developing but uneven, with Serbia needing infrastructure improvements while Greece is closer to European standards.
- Paunović emphasized that electric cars are a present reality, achievable with planning, and that infrastructure reliability is the biggest challenge, not vehicle range.
