Arrived at Effretikon for a short stop. These people loaded my car with all sorts of goodies..:-)and then onto Luzern to see the lake. Home town for Louis Palmer.

I did it! I got top marks for the car!

Overnight stop to load the battery and get some sleep!

Students at the University of Stuttgart take a closer look at the Leaf.

A warm reception and loads of good pizza and wine. The views were amazing. Next stop is Stuttgart!

Being a VIP we managed to make our way to the Frankfurt motor show. Over 127Km The car was perfect. I also found some new technology worth looking at!

As I had a real issue finding power the night before, I had to deal with the knock on effect of this problem, I was late into Troisdorf but still managed to make it with less than .5 of a kM left in the battery! I used a 16 amp charger for the rest of the afternoon to make up the lost time. I had to stop once on the way down just to make sure I could make it! I was sure I only needed to stop for less than 10 mins to gain the correct amount of energy. I managed to plug the car into a service station but the Boss of the company demanded money! I said it was less than 10 Cents of power required, but he unpluged the car lead and said go! I managed to get the extra km in the battery and made my destination!! 🙂 without paying the 10 Cents!! hehe..

Managed to reach Dortmund from Gelsenkirchen, only just as I had limited plug time. We get to see the Innotruck for the first time

!!

Made it to Gelsenkirchen from Zolder race track! Arrived at 1.00am! No plug socket, but managed to track down a plug socket by 4am, had to sleep in the car. Managed to get to all the meetings on time but no sleep!! Also with some help managed to load the battery with just the correct amount of energy to reach the next stop in Dortmond! A big thanks to the people who helped me plug the car in to reach the next step! You saved me!! :0
