I test another 8 chargers during mid term (October 2023) in north west of France (Brittany, Normandy and the North). all good experience and very affordable DC charging

![Crossing Chile With a 28 kWh EV (2,300 Miles, Real Life)
🚗⚡ Can a 28 kWh EV Cross Chile?
3,700 km from Santiago to San Pedro de Atacama in a Hyundai Ioniq Electric
Jamie takes a Hyundai Ioniq Electric 28 kWh on one of the most ambitious EV road trips we’ve ever featured: 3,700 km across Chile, from Santiago to San Pedro de Atacama and back — through deserts, mountain passes, and huge charging gaps.

This isn’t a polished “influencer” road trip. It’s real EV travel:
🔌 Sparse charging infrastructure
🏨 Hotel sockets, municipal plugs & overnight granny charging
⚡ 50 kW DC chargers when available
🏜️ Driving through the Atacama — one of the driest places on Earth
⛰️ Huge elevation changes (and how they help EV efficiency)
It’s a masterclass in planning, mindset, and making the most of a small battery.
What you’ll see in this video:
- How the Ioniq 28 kWh performs over extreme distances
- Why slow charging isn’t a problem if you plan for it
- Real-world efficiency at low speeds and high altitude
- What speed to drive at to optimise range
This trip proves that EV range anxiety is often a mindset problem, not a battery problem.
📊 Key stats:
🚙 Car: Hyundai Ioniq Electric 28 kWh
🛣️ Distance: ~3,700 km round trip
⚡ Charging: 50 kW DC + AC + domestic sockets
🌍 Location: Chile (Santiago → San Pedro de Atacama)
If you’re interested in used EVs, battery degradation, real-world range, or making EVs work without perfect infrastructure, you’re in the right place.

![London Brighton EV Rally 2024: A Drivers Point of View
Today, exciting day ahead as this is the 4th edition of the London - Brighton EV Rally. About 100 electric vehicles ranging from motorbikes to delivery vehicles, to a big truck and including a number of conversions and many mainstream cars depart from Westminster. There are token prizes for the best efficiency meaning that there is a good spirit of hypermiling going around a number of the participants. So what does it feel like on the day, how well did we manage to keep our efficiency down. Were in the mighty Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh (this one dates back to 2018) and it relishes these reasonably short distances, with A-roads and B-roads, so hopefully it should do well, right? Well, lets see about that as we share our journey with you, topped and tailed with some views of the event at start and finish.
