Join Bethany and me for a full EV road trip along Norway’s southern coast from Lillesand to Stavanger in a Volkswagen ID.3. We take the scenic coastal route, explore Odderøya Fort and stunning pull-offs, and nerd out on fast-charging—from canopy Recharge/KemPower sites to Alpitronic HYC-400 truck bays and a HYC-50 pedestal in a tiny village. I demo the Elton app (filters, ABRP routing, live status, pricing), try a few QR activations, and share real-world efficiency and battery temp notes (when to precondition, when 50 kW is enough, and why tourists don’t need to stop as often as I do 😅).
What you’ll see
• Scenic coastal roads, fjord views, and random sheep 🐑
• Multiple DCFC stops: Kempower canopies, Circle K HYC400 truck lanes, a HYC50, and an older ABB Terra
• Live charging data via Kempower QR + Elton
• Tips for first-time EV renters in Norway (apps, payment terminals, how often to charge)
