If anyone told Werner Hillebrand-Hansen he couldn’t go far in an electric vehicle, he wasn’t listening. 

 

The committed EV fan has just completed a trip in an electric Renault Zoe from Munich to Barcelona. He crossed five countries – Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Spain – covering 1,375 kms… and he did it in just two days.

 

There were two key elements behind the success of this pioneering trip: the lithium-ion batteries that give Renault Zoe an impressive 210kms range (NEDC) and the ever expanding network of fast chargers which ensured that Werner and co-driver Annette Schwabenhaus spent as little time as possible recharging the Zoe.
