Day 15: Kiel (Germany) → Hook of Holland (The Netherlands)
After a rough crossing in a North Sea storm – we pull into Kiel past a modern submarine in the Germany Naval Yards.
And make our way down to the car deck – where despite the movement of the ferry overnight – the car has not moved a millimetre.
Driving down the ramp into Germany.
Today is a relatively simple day – drive six hundred kilometres across northern Germany and Netherlands – to make our connecting ferry before it leaves at 22:00 tonight.
We actually have plenty of time and with the progress we can make on the autobahn combined with plentiful charging – we are soon at our first planned stop.
And second.
Both with very pre-heated batteries from the sustained high-speeds of the autobahn – we take in energy at a quick 265 kW in both cases.
We decide to tweak our routing slightly to keep us in Germany longer – and avail of motorways.
Eventually crossing into Netherlands – and a 100 km/h speed limit until 19:00.
Picking up our final charge – about 60 km from Rotterdam.
Making it to our ferry with nearly three hours to spare. They let you onto this ferry very early so we're able to rest up in our cabin.
Like the previous time we took this ferry – it leaves about 30 mins earlier then scheduled – you would not want to miss your check-in time!
