From Nebikon I drove to Langenbruck where to Okozentrum is based. The Okozentrum has been around for 35 years and they develop new sustainable solutions and give education to youngsters about this subjects.
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!
From Esslingen I went to Zurich but had to charge at some places in between. In Zurich Isabella and her boyfriend where waiting for me, with schnitzels!
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.
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.
In Weltzar I met Frank, Maren and his children who life in a house on top off the hills in Weltzar. Ofcourse they drive electric. Frank showed me around Weltzar which is a idyllic German town.
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.
On day 22 I went to Germany. I met Raphael who makes everything electric. His bike, his car and even his autoped.
Sascha showed showed me around in Macharen, the tiniest town I’ve ever been. Om my way to Enschede I passed Oss, also a small place what an inspiration for many great artists.
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.
