Day 28 & 29 | Around Zurich

Day 28th I spend all day to look for sustainable projects to visit and I give an update about things that happened in the last week, for instance an invite by a very high placed person.

Tuesday I went to Andre who has an company specialized in EV products, then I went to Sebastian who was one of the first guys outside of Netherlands to plug me in!

Day 25 | Morning workout at the gas station

It was the first night I had to spend in the car and probably more to come. It wasn’t bad at all but felt a but cranky after sleeping in the frontseat. I did a workout at the carpark of the gas station and my energy was completely refilled after.

Then I headed to Heilbronn where I met Aileen who I actually should have met the night before. My plugger that night was Almar who lives in this idyllic town in Germany.

PS. In case you noticed 2 day 25’s, that’s right! In miscounted somewhere and this day is actually day 25.

Day 25 | Ran out of energy and had to sleep in the car!

Yes it happened! I didn’t have enough energy to make it to the next destination. I could make it to a gas station and looked for a socket to charge the car. Then I needed to sleep in the car.

Earlier I went with Frank to Bosch and interviewed them about the Energy Plus Home, a home which generates more electricity as it uses.

Drove from Herford to Wermelskirchen, 185km without any problems! I stayed at Andre and his family. He has an collection of vintage Coca-Cola and pinball machines. Also he is en EV-enthusiast. He drives an Italian Tazzari car which looks like a big toy for children.

Day 18 | Innovative public charging, Ground fridges and a visit to Brabant

From Belgium I went back to Netherlands where I visited Floris Schoonderbeek from Studio Weltevree in Arnhem. He designed the Groundfridge, an underground storage room using only the nature to cool the products. Also he is responsible for the design of the first public charging stations in Holland.
In Arnhem I went to a new kind of charging park from Allego and designed by Weltevree.

In the evening I stayed in Macharen, a tiny place near Oss where I was invited by a very friendly family.

I moved from Heverlee to Brussels where Michael from Beeodiversity explained me how bees can be used for research in the environment. Later I drove to the border with France where Kristina explained me how I can cook using only the power of the sun.
