Looking at driving to the dordogne area later in July, and having never done non uk travel in the car before, and just wondering what the charging network is like in France.
The reality is it's about 650 miles to where I'm heading from London, so will need to stop probably 3 times enroute. Ideally at the high power chargers, ie 150kw+, so stops are no.more than 30 minutes each.
Should it be relatively hassle free or am I going to regret taking the EV ?

We live in dordogne and i bought our ipace down end of 2019 and it was horrific, network is terrible, very unreliable and very few superchargers, if you find one then they’ll be horrific queues in july.
Ionity would have had a good network in by now that’d surfice but covid put paid to installs.
If you have a Tesla then ignore all that

G-Wiz: Definitely
Leaf: Yes
i3: Probably
I-PACE/Audi/Taycan: Probably not, as long as you've got a way to roam chargers (Plugsurfing or similar), or plan trip around Newmotion/IONITY fast chargers
Tesla: Most likely not, especially if you've got the above in addition to the supercharger network.
It also depends what you mean by "driving in france"... Autoroutes will have fast chargers at distances that won't be a problem for I-Pace/Tesla. Country roads and Alpine villages, no chance.
