The Official Film of WAVE 2015 is out! Take a look at the experiences, adventures and the roads of this years WaveTrophy! Enjoy your watch! We have officially concluded our WAVE Trophy 2015. A wise man once said: "The journey is the destination." That is something we definitely agree on.
Today we celebrate with Team Metron for their first place in pioneers group! Congratulations! ![]() After getting our beauty sleep (we haven't slept for 42! hours) we cought up with other WAVE members at breakfast. Although we are officially out of the race, since we have no electric car, the Trophy isn't finished yet. Things are getting interesting and competitors are getting tired. Check all the news at: WAVE 2015
Congratulation to Team METRON!!!

Tine and I are driving from Berlin to Bern with a rental car...disapointed and tired...stopping in Loerrach to congatulate Team METRON! ![]() Today we finished our first WAVE Trophy, due to the charging failure.
Charging: this is one of the most important thing if you drive an electic car. First of all you need a really good charger and second the infrastructure, not to mention the third - the electic grid... We see that many teams are having real problems with their chargers; fuses are blown or the charger just stops working, and there is also the problem with overheating. The charging stations are also one of the issue to address here, since they are quite hard to find and each of them is using different plug. But thanks to application PlugSurfing and the help of their team member, we found one and we will be "good to go" in the morning for the longest King's stage: Berlin - Bern (1000 km in 30 hours). Keep your fingers crossed!

Our first test was to leave our car for technical inspection, which we have passed with all points and now it is official: we will be on a WAVE start tomorrow morning "wearing" no. 9. Our first stage includes driving on Sachsenring, where we will have a speed trophy to see which car is the fastest and the most agile.
