It's called Piazza Pulita, name omen for the lack of training in approaching the most; chatted news report on the topic of electric cars, probably made by disregarding the basic rule of this profession: studying and knowing the topic you are talking about.
& Eacute; so & igrave; that LA7 airs with the report of a trip with an electric car: a Renault Zoe that many real customers use to move even over medium-long distances. Result? 52 hours to travel 710 kilometers .
Let's see how long it would take, by bike and without stopping: 38 hours. Possible that none of the authors could have jumped into mind that this comparison could already have; be an alarm bell?
Did we do something wrong in approaching this journey? The question is not; flashed minimally in the minds of those who followed the service.
DO NOT KNOW THE TECHNOLOGY 
. Of course, it is not; the most fast to recharge in DC and must, as a city car, discount the limit of the theoretical 50 kW as a maximum peak. </p>
<p> Regardless of the generation and the installation of Zoe we want to examine, not the & egrave; the possibility has never been precluded; to recharge at the 22 kW alternating current columns. </p>
<p> <img src = )
Regardless of the blatant ignorance of charging technology, the other issue on which it is not; a minimum of study has been done & egrave; the one related to applications for recharging … and here we need to open a separate chapter to answer those who are already; sharpening the keyboard to write that:
THEY WANTED TO PUT IN THE SHOES OF THE COMMON USER 
Eh gi & agrave ;, LA7 may have wanted to set the service for demonstrate that, today, there is still no electric car culture , that we are still in an embryonic stage (partly absolutely true) and that there is; little training both on the part of those who sell the car and on the part of the final customer.
It is a pity that this obstacle, the lack of knowledge of the new technology, is very similar to what the Internet pioneers had to face, those who did not have an ISDN network infrastructure available and who had to settle for a skimpy 56K . The same ones who then enjoyed, when the times became ripe, the first upgrades to ADSL and today they have fiber.
Apart from these considerations, the journey of LA7 has led to this result because & eacute; started from wrong premises , from the absence of minimum knowledge to which anyone has access and that are within reach of a Google or YouTube search. If, yesterday, the pioneers of the Internet had to improvise and solve the problem by banging their heads, today the pioneers of the electric car have a very easy life in finding information.
THE WORST CASE
We continue to try to be the devil's advocates, without extremism from “electric fanboys” and letting the data do the talking. The Zoe of the video is; a model with a 52 kWh battery if we rely on what we saw in the video.
It may, however, be possible to purchase or rent an older version without the CCS Combo 2 socket for fast charging. In any case, one thing is; sure: it has a standard 22 kW charger that can reload much more quickly than what emerges from the video.
Let's try to hypothesize the worst situation anyway: below the simulation without recharging in direct current and using only the alternating current through 22 kW three-phase columns (remember: the most ; widespread in Italy).
Let's add a night in the middle, 10 hours of parking without recharging: we are still far away from the situation described in the video, where it seems that the authors have focused on the less rapid, less accessible and less practical columns to use.
Considering the step-by-step approach, perhaps desired, perhaps forced by the bad choice of columns, it also highlights another error of LA7, that of not making the slightest effort to take advantage of night charging . Even a very slow recharge with the Schuko socket would have been enough to completely change the face of the journey, a socket that is not; difficult to recover from a hotel with a parking lot or from a landlord.
10 hours of charging at 1.8 kW means storing 18 kWh (we neglect the dispersion): about 34% of the battery. At least 100 km of autonomy. Without extra accessories and with the basic home charger that plugs into any domestic socket
Charging in an accommodation facility is not necessary; obvious but not difficult : on the occasion of the wedding of a colleague, this summer, the house chosen for the Milan editorial staff to stay away is not; was booked with the intention of charging an electric car. And I didn't choose it personally. Yet, once on site, the owner himself & egrave; gladly spent looking for an outlet that I could use for a night topping up.
Curious, then, the choice to stop in Mondragone. It could have been a must for business or personal needs, but looking at the map & egrave; it is clear that it is a black hole for mobility; electric, surrounded by cities & agrave; much more; full of columns. It was really necessary to stop there; for the night?
DISCONNECT THE MOBILE PHONE TO SAVE BATTERY 
Apps like Nextcharge have agreements with the main charging providers, thus resolving; the & quot; problem & quot; installation and configuration of multiple dedicated applications, practice that the electric user more attentive to savings applies exactly as those who have a smartphone with two SIMs did to save on data packages or calls over the years.
Almost all electric car manufacturers, then, today offer a card with a single account that solves the problem of the lack of connection on the mobile phone. On the one hand & egrave; It is true that the navigators of many cars are imprecise with the columns and do not help the driver at all in planning.
On the other hand, a minimum of study is really enough to understand how to make up for this lack. And the studio is; needed with every new technology : when the first computers arrived, when did you & egrave; switched from mobile phones to smartphones with apps, when you & egrave; switched from cassette to digital video camera …
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE TO WAIT
With a tight and captivating editing, the protagonist of this epic journey adds another pearl to the necklace which seems to have become the rosary of a flagellant . Let's call Khaby Lame for help to answer her:
The on-board computer of electric cars, when charging is started correctly, shows an estimate of the waiting time on the display. It will not be specifies to the second why & eacute; the columns could vary the power delivered for a variety of reasons, but it can; be a first reference that still provides a realistic estimate.
In the absence of indications, the calculation of the charging times is; the result of a simple operation for which it is enough to learn an equally simple formula.
SPEAK, UNFORTUNATELY PEOPLE … 
Can we do Rome-Reggio Calabria in less time with a different electric car? Of course, enough take one made to travel. And I show it with numbers so ineluctable that they would make Thanos look like a beginner:
The above path, with a Model 3, is not; exactly the same as in Piazza Pulita, but & egrave; perfectly comparable. Forgive me if I don't crop it exactly at 710 km: it gives the idea and I already have it; wasted too much time in denying those who go on television, with a huge audience and less savvy than that of the web, without even making a minimum of effort .
Look at the numbers: 8 hours for a distance similar to that of Piazza Pulita , only on the motorway and with a speed; media that … forget it. I'll close it here, out of the blue. Let's clean up and go ahead criticizing when needed, denouncing what is wrong. And by not constructing an unsustainable thesis ad hoc.
The electric car today is not; for everyone. True, but even talking about electric cars, today, is not; for everyone.
