Day 7: Bled (Slovenia) -> Ljubljana (Slovenia)
A short day today to bookend our first week of this road-trip. After a very pleasant breakfast, we head out to our fully charged car – a rare destination charge on this trip so far.
As can be seen from today's map – we're still routing to the capital via a mountain route – one that yet again brings us in and out of Austria – and incorporates some of the Solčava panoramic road.
We head south on the A2 but turn off left before Kranj – heading north to the border of Austria. Once again, we're quickly in the forest landscape that covers 50% of Slovenia.
Passing through many pretty villages
While not as dramatic as yesterday's route – there are still plenty of turns to keep us on our toes.
Popping into Austria.
Where the roads get slightly wider.
With plenty of views of the alps.
Before crossing back into Slovenia.
Leaving the forest.
And driving into the capital Ljubljana – our home for tonight.
Finding our hotel – InterContinental Ljubljana – easily and pulling up outside the hotel for valet parking.
Where they plug the car into a normal wall socket – giving us 1.2 kW. Still its free power – one of the tricks of EV road-trip's is to grab power where its convenient.
With the frequent ascents and descents – the car regenerated about 10% of battery during this short day's driving – very impressive – Taycan's love the mountains!
We've a good view of the alps in the distance from our room.
Now to enjoy the capital.
Today we did 152 km over 3:07 hours, with an average speed of 50 km/h, consuming 20.1 kWh/100km.
