Adventurers of the year. Mother and daughter drove an electric car from Vladivostok to Chelyabinsk in a week and six days on the road, almost 8,000 km, power reserve - less than 500 km. And almost no sleep. "I drove myself, my daughter was a passenger. When I felt completely sleepy, I got up on the side of the road, started meditating for 40 minutes, and that's it - I'm ready to move on." (We strongly recommend not to return) Why. The idea appeared during a trip to Armenia on a diesel engine. Even on toll roads, people could not refuel due to a shortage of gasoline. Lyubov decided to become independent from the gas station. When the electric car she chose arrived in Vladivostok, she had to wait another 1.5 months for the transporter.

The first time the car had to be towed because it was too late to charge. In the second in Cansk: the stations did not work due to lack of internet.

Now the GAC has become Lyubov's main car, despite the premium German crossovers in the family garage.
