Flanders to the Ardennes

Eleven days of canals, beer halls, and forest hills: Brussels, Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Dinant and Namur on the Meuse, Spa in the Ardennes, and back to Brussels. Ionity and Tesla in the cities; Allego and Blue Corner on regional legs. Short distances hide cobbles and climbs — charge before the hills, not after.

Season: Year-round. Bruges and Ghent glow spring and early autumn; July weekends crowd the canals. Book overnight Allego or hotel wallboxes in Bruges and Spa. Ardennes climbs reward a cool battery and an unhurried pace.
