the but not all member states supported and some persuasion is required quite some time. when the diplomatic poker, intrinsic power plays and alliances behind the scenes, a b, e. u. climate summit starts august 5th on d, w. me i was we are living during the most extraordinary time in history. transport for electric. you might have read the auto and mobility show me an expedition on an

electric motor bike from robot and morocco to cape down in south africa through a total of 20 countries. this sounds like a huge challenge and it was for a german canyon couple who told read all about the planning to go on this trip. if someone says, this is what i would definitely do the love that we thought me and i'll see we will travel africa with an electric. how far we get. is it

possible? how can i because the the idea was that he would be on the bike full time and i wouldnt drive the vehicle because it was that had never been done before. so we wanted to be prepared. my name is thomas my phone call and my mom is from germany. i was born and raised in berlin and i'm an entrepreneur. and in my free times, and in my work time, i'm traveling the african continent. my name is darcy. i was born and raised in kenya, i moved to berlin in 2017. our work is talent acquisition. in my free time, i do trips across

the motorbike that we were driving had a touch tank which helps you to charge the battery quicker. so you have an on board charger that you can plug in any way. and then you have the charge tank, which kinda speeded up the boxes for the equipment to an aside one top case. and of course the charging cables, very important, right? mm. mm. thank you to for the life of our trip. now this one we need extra, very happy at this possible nowadays without the thing be in going nowhere. the electric motor bike tor just popped into my head and, you know, with i tend to trust that if i have such an idea,

i just want to see where it takes the news to share. we found something, him, oracle, where we can charge a know i'm going to ask the staff if you did or if i need to pay somewhere more oakland, south africa where the only countries on our route that have these e v charging station morocco, the only country where we use them on our 12 minutes away for now. thank you. okay, so nice. let's hit the road jack. ah,

we had idea to make the trip even south africa, and in 6 months we want to travel the continents and i wanted to new experience africa in a way that it's not painted in the news. for example, this, the blue, my, my summer we needed the most challenging that i could get. we looked at the map and i was okay, what is the maximum amount of countries that we can kind of color, right? we can make the country mean try to cross 20 borders in 6 months, you know, and it's not like the shannon shannon area where you get through with one visa, but know we'd like each country needs its own thing, right. and then we have 2 different passports the all the sudden, right behind it, when i get behind the driving. so here we are riding along at

40 kilometer up and get right on. so they advertise trains of the black forest around 250 kilometers. i think in city traffic, now some stretches and morocco don't have charging points every 260 kilometers. so we were kind of experimenting. how can we extend that range in some way more i found out than if you drive behind the truck. you are nicely in the slipstream and the range extends massively right. of course you can only do this window ro doesn't have any potholes, and it's not the safest driving. but then i don't think we did this trip just to experience safety. you wanted to know, is it possible? right? and so i remember one stretch. we did 350 kilometers from one town to the next able to charge

me. it seems like, you know, go with the things that speak to your heart, kind of listen to your intuition the. so we needed to calculate in such a way that we were not moving if the bike could not the next case. so we stopped at, it had to have electricity, so we could charge the bike. ah, tricity was like the key factor for this entire undertaking, right? we charge a gas stations. our hotels restaurants was how could tell us the touch that the generator, the telco power, the middle of nowhere, was

well through the chart. everywhere you go, where the electricity is, what you've got electricity in the kitchen. let me run this cable pseudo move this ticket, right? let me plug it in every night for us. what sort of like an adventurer? you never know what you're going to eat. you never know where you're going to sleep with. it's going to be nice where you're going to find electricity. i don't think we have the final say on how good the electricity systems are. but they vary a lot. and even in one country, they could vary a lot like for example, and they barrier a lot of things are running on generators. but then the closer you get to ivory coast, some of that electricity might be coming from cookies and they have a better electricity system. all i know at the end of the day, just when you find a place like the bike is charging, it's just like i we did good today like the bike and charging, we're just sitting down. going over like for the day was like having a beer. those little moments also like meet such

a difference. it was raining and the threats one across the board does that does not have carmax. so it was just like you're like, we've got so many times. it's not much coming up. you can click on the suv from the office

and he had to always get the help of other villagers to come and help us to push the car out of the mud here, did you want to try me? by the way, we actually had a military escort. special forces were like only have to say it was so shocked that you don't have an escort. you can just get kid now. and then one thing led to another. and we haven't actually in the middle of the bank in the back, otherwise i wouldn't make like 50 max home. 60 i tried. i tried to explain this to them. they didn't know at the

time is the weather was not so great. sometimes it's really awesome. i really rings the friends with money so also never know what the money has killed to bills. i have a program for them to take the motor out because

we have a complete plan in the front. it's stretched our capacities, but then also a couple in terms of our communications. i think it was a great opportunity to practice patients to practice listening, to practice understanding and all that. the on the the, the the the, the me

we moving again on the back of the truck. everything is back together. is our lovely princess. the protagonist in the play? horace motorcycle. crazy print poly. got me all of this. oh man, it's been crazy. one crazy telling

me in this been i think this is the last time you see that there is one thought let's. let's have a look together. maybe check sort of fund everything again, if there's anything that we might need to buy, ah,

we've decided overnight. so right now we had a discount. just thought before to reduce it in 23 back even does reduce everything already. but we have to mention that we got 3 more of that and some of the other which is crazy. with me we have recently gotten rid of

all our stuff and now the car is ready for sale on this is some of the stuff that we're still trying to get rid of. even when we had to leave the van, i was like, how does an interesting turn of events? and it might just make a story more interesting. you know, let's see where this takes us. and it's like in the beginning, you're like, it's annoying, it slows down, but then the next part is like it's interesting, unexpected, fresh. and actually i always love how you would and okay, i leave all my stuff here. all my fancy, inexpensive perfumes and i go, i mean this is what i was saying. like we were in it. there was nothing. there was no way we're going. you just had to sit in this space and be like, ok, this is where we're at. this is what is happening right now. that's go

the me me, i would also just like wireless because it gets very monotonous. it really does. thomas has a better view, like to be at the front. and like for me it was, i would always have to be like, could you my head like this and were packed onto this bike with so many things and let go of a lot of stuff. i was just chris like in between thomas and then baggage on this side on the side. it was quite uncomfortable. so sometimes i was just gonna see because i had netflix. so i literally would download like shows the wind its so loud when

you're driving. so i would like to make sure i'd like to put a subtitle, so i'm not even really hearing anything, but i like reading stuff that all of those back on the bike and tell me was it always like oh no, but i still green the see there are you still beautiful and everything like no, i just need my nephew to get through this the news we will be taking the train and i are both on the to 0 right now. the distance dramatically charging

yeah. it seems that it should be electricity. you stop by the gas station or if you see a nice thing. otherwise you keep going. the news. i should be back within the country by tomorrow. otherwise my shan expires. so i have to leave toma to finish the journey without me.

the games i didn't wanna use in all right folks, this is less than i'm writing their own chips by my love there you go

to heartbreak, but then again we did it. i was so happy that i arrived and have african safely, and i was able to get back to 0 to 0 model. like i didn't destroy your bike, your bike actually made it right. so it's like, well, in the, in the one sentence like all, i won't have a wonderful motor back to right anymore. but on the other hand, it also, she's your responsibility. so yeah, with the news . go back to german who's left. pick it up, quickie check in

i don't know. i don't know how did you let me that back in one piece because i was also having my computer about leaving in to do like the left by themselves. so when i saw him at the airport, i was like there is safe and sound back home. so if the i wouldn't do it again, not in that way just because everything has time, everything has a purpose, which is 6 months during the rainy season with a car and an electric motor bike, right? either one could have, you know, maybe it worked out easier, but both, i think we just gave us all the proper challenge the we have very different experiences. our trip while traveling for the beginning of the com

on the motorbike trying to extend the range hanging out in the van. a huge thing that you had more responsibility and i was just like, living my best. no, i wouldn't say so. i think it was just different experiences. have a problem. but in general, yes, thomas, i would do it again. the news? yes. what on earth is the carbon below? near the luxury hypercard?
