Back from our trip.

Just to inform forum users that is is possible, with careful planning and use of apps, to get to and from the South of Spain from the Northern ports using an electric car. 

The infrastructure seems to be growing fast and we found many of the better hotels have Tesla fast charging, with top ups at coffee shops, we found it very manegable. 

Our one comment would be it seemed more expensive to charge in Spain, although in some of the hotels there was no charge.

Our trip finalised our experiences of Spain as we arranged for the shipment of stored item to the US which will be our  home from the end of next month.

Thanks for the reply.

Have the apps on phone and car helps find charging points. Never had a problem finding a point in UK but its a big market in Europe for Tesla.

Just wanted to know if the really exist as Supercharge points. If not it can take 30 hours to charge.

We usually get around 300 miles from a full charge from our Tesla S, just wanted to ensure the charging points really exist rather than just on the Tesla web sites.

Is there anyone on this site that has real experience or knows someone who has real experience of using the charging points.

As I live near the centre of Oxford we have brought an electric car - Oxord have stated that only electric cars will be able to access the centre from 2020. It has a good range and we have not found the range too much problem as the UK has and continues to roll out charging points throughout most of the main routes and towns.

My question is how viable would it be for us to use the car in Spain?

Does the Freeway services have fast chargers and what about the infrastructure on the CdS.

Thanks in advance for relavant information.

What I should have said is the car is a Tesla and am interested in the Super Charge points as we can get an 80% charge in 30mins.

Back in 2015 I thought the UK would be good. I still think that's an option for a lot of people still many jobs available in Engineering Science and Medicine. For those who have retired Spain still seems a good option.

For me I'm now leaving the UK in October for retirement in the Sierra Nevada California.

Here in Oxford we always give physio starting the day after the op. Its essential to gain as much mobility and retain as much tone as possible to aid with a faster recovery with reduced pain.

The partial procedure is usually undertaken for trauma patients and a full replacement for patients with disease.

The OP does not give a reason for the replacement but if through trauma there may be other factors which need to be taken into account for the period of recovery.

In general hip replacement recovery varies with patients, age fitness weight and deterination being some factors; this can be from a time frame of 4 weeks to 6 months.

My wife as a consultant surgeon is suprised that no physio was involved, and gives the above info based on the local protocols and patient outcomes in her specialist ortho Hospital.

Suggest the OP goes to another specialist centre as with time it becomes more difficult to put right.

Best of luck.
