And just 16 hours later, we have arrived!

Overall surprisingly easy and more straightforward than expected.

Charging added up to £96.30, plus maybe £2.50 worth of super cheap initial charge at home.

Final stop! Could have skipped this one, but want to arrive with some charge for tomorrow.

Stop 4.

Stop 2. Netherlands.

Hail in Antwerp! Belgian weather does not disappoint.

First charging stop, somewhere in Belgium. Supposedly up to 300 kW but currently charging at 70, so this will take a little over half an hour.
December 22, 2024 at 3:35 PM
France in sight.

On the boat. Time for lunch!

Ready to board in Dover.

46% battery left, 3.7 mi/kWh so far. Not bad for a chilly day.

Departing on our Christmas EV road trip adventure of 2024! 855 km, four countries, one ferry.

How will it go? Will charging work? Let’s find out.

Michael develops methods to address these challenges, and he uses them to deal with a substantive question: explaining macro inertia.

That is, why are the responses of macro aggregates to policy shocks often slow and hump-shaped?
