Krakow - Post Report Question and Answers
What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?
It feels like Toyota hybrids are the most common car here, though typically smaller corollas or C-HR SUVs. My Rav-4 feels like the maximum car you would want to have here, and anything longer/wider/taller wouldn't fit in my tiny garage. Almost anything available on the EU market works and can be serviced locally. A lot of roads that feel like a one-way are, uh, not... so know your car dimensions and be willing to scoot to the side to let larger SUVs and trucks pass. Parking can be tight, so we typically circle the block a few times until we find something we can squeeze into. There is a growing number of electric cars, but note that the EU electric plug is not the same as the US Tesla or J1772 plugs, so you'll need an adapter. - Jun 2024
