My positive opinion of Fortum just went up 1000% seeing what they are doing here. The Fortum guy is a great representative of the brand. Very impressed. Thank you Bjorn and the Fortum guy for allowing us to see how it’s done. Love Model 3 as well.
I've been watching Bjorn's channel since 2013 but I think I've just watched this as the best episode yet. Bjorn as e-ambassador, you're doing awesome stuff and living the dream for keyboard warriors like myself. Thank you to Ole for recognising the value in bringing Bjørn along, both enterprises will benefit from this for sure.
Bjorn and Ole for the win. Just goes to show with an efficient EV like the Model 3, planning and a little help from local power utility companies you can indeed travel to locations with less than optimal charging conditions. Best travel videos ever!
Bjorn, I would just like to thank you for showing how to do ev's over the last few years - don't own a car but convinced me the approach was right - last week i i hired an ipace for a week for a trip from London to Wales, don't think i would have commited without seeing your epic tests and trips. Infrastructure still too patchy and with a variety of quality control issues in the UK but the car was a real pleasure. Some charges were smooth and worked frist time, others kept cutting out, being fussy and all in the rain becuase of no shelters or roofs for the poor ev users....thanks.
Bjorn this is one of your best road trips for years. It reminds me so much of my very special road trip to the Nordkapp back in 2016. Thank you. Can't wait to visit Norway again.
Around this area, maybe more down towards Kiruna there are plans to build a space launch pad, for tourist and commercial flights. So they will need lots of hotels for hundreds of workers. I really enjoyed this road trip, very interesting, teaching me how to plan and calculate distances, charging etc. brilliant. Thanks
@@zoidberg444 thanks dude. I'm gonna arrange a trip even if it's a short one. Charging my Renault Zoe ze40 seems like it might be an issue until the fast chargers are sorted
@@joshuarice7565 I drove up there in my shitty old Toyota and in Northern Sweden i nearly ran out of fuel between Kiruna and Umea. Doing it in an EV would be too scary for me. Although you will save a lot of money on fuel. When i was in Norway in 2016 petrol was costing about 15NOK a litre in Norway and 14SEK a litre in Sweden when it was more like 10-11NOK equivalent in the UK. I'm not sure if they have changed the law in Norway but at one point EV's were exempt from road tolls and you paid for the passengers not the car on ferrys (of which there are many).
I'm already planning to have a trip to the northkap and finnmark and all (no timeframe yet). Thanks for working on the infrastructure needed to do it. Awesome videos.
Thank you for yet another episode! Very interesting. I am going to North Cape in August with my X75. I am abviously a year too early for the fast chargers....
Some good infos: Karasjok is actually the Capital of Lappland infact there take place the Sami parliament, and yes it hold the Norwegian cold record of -51,4 degrees Celsius (-60,5 F).
Used to fish in our Deep Sea Trawler up at North Cape many years ago and called in to Honningsvag for fuel to get us back home to UK. Nice video Bjorn once again.
Also the great landscape, thanks for this precious gift. I wish I could go to those cabins near the Tana river. seems to be a nice place for a weekend.
Travelling the road from Honningsvag to Nordkapp looked an awful lot easier by car than the bicycle I used ~8 weeks ago to do it. I had a lot less wind thankfully. Someone did manage to drive their car to the globe while I was there though. If Fortum get some of their chargers online in Finnmark by the end of the year that'd be awesome! I'm seriously considering driving my MS 90D there in December.
This was the first video on my feed after a couple of weeks off TH-cam - because two weeks ago today I was at Nordkapp! 4600miles/7400km from the UK and we travelled via Karasjok and Lakselv as we visited Santa Claus Village near Rovaniemi. It was 1 degree Celsius and snow flurries when we were there. Loved seeing the views again!
Beautiful places you got to visit.. Awesome trip/series. I wish we had dedicated officials like Ole in Canada, Vancouver. Enjoy your trip guys, drive safe.
Was at the north cape exactly 3 weeks ago. While driving there with our bus i was thinking: no way a tesla can reach this place and get back from it. Watching this was very cool. I have ordered my blue model 3 yesterday and can’t wait for it to arrive here next month in Belgium!
Bjorn, missed seeing you on my recent trip to north cape. We had excellent garlic butter crab at the King Crab House in Honningsvag. I'm going to the south cape in October. When are you doing cape to cape run with MC Hammer?😎
I see you poshed it up in your accommodation, we stayed in the hostel Nordkapp Vandrerhjem (to keep costs down) when we visited it was piddling down in August when we were there and the Nordkapp itself covered in fog. you have nice weather.
We where planning a trip in March to see aurora. I wanted to go for nordkapp but after watching your trip with wify my wify got scared there is not enough charging. If Fortum can install some chargers this summuer we are good to go! You two make a good team very relaxed atmofere between you like good friends.
You guys have nothing to be afraid of. The route we took was far away from the route to North cape which has plenty of 22 kW and faster charging available. Just check plugshare first if you don't believe me.
@@bjornnyland thanks. I got the plugshare tag. Will spend a bit more time to look into the 22kw chargers. Wednesday i will start the southern europe roadtrip. Netherlands, belgium, france, monaco, italy, austria, germany, and back to Amsterdam. It will take away the fear of long road trip of wify i hope. Keep up the good work! You are making a huge difference to get EV's mainstream.
That green soda can looked like it had "Urge" written on the side, but it looked similar to a soda from the US called "Surge". Is it supposed to be the same thing? If so, that's really strange because Surge was discontinued because of too much sugar and caffeine, I think, and was only brought back one time a few years ago.

Amazing trip. How die you manage to find all the charging opprtunities? Maybe I will do something similar crazy in the future or I will wait until all the charging stations are available that you suggested in your Video.
@@bjornnyland Not exactly Bjorn, Blue = 1 phase + Neutral + earth = 230V, red = 3 phase + neutral (optional but always neccessary for charging) + earth = 230 V between any phase and neutral (like in the blue one) and 400 V among any two phases. Ask any electrician. Blue is always 1 phase, and red 3 phases, the voltage depends on the way you connect the device.
What a great place to drive no people we came home from LAX last night at 11:30 and the traffic was insane LAX was voted the worst airport in the world. What happens if you get a flat tire on those desolate roads.
Juice Technology could give you a brand new Booster as a gift ! That would be fair because you show the booster in each of your videos ! It seems to be a great product ... COME ON JUICE TECHNOLOGY, please send a new Booster to BJORN ! If you do so, I will buy one ;-)
...actually from what I understood the damaged cap can be bought as a replacement part from them. No need for an entire charger. BTW I can recommend it myself - they are dead robust. Feels like a MIL-Spec product.
@@bjornnyland Hmmmmm.....you then say you are charging 7kW which sort of confirms 32A 230V or 240V single phase.....but then you are The Dude, man. In most parts of the world yellow is 110-120V, blue is 220-240V single phase and the red are 220V-240V 3 phase. It is a dark location so perhaps I misjudge the red for blue.
I am really enjoying the videos of this trip - thank you! I'm almost scared to ask this, but what are the food options like in these remote areas, for vegetarians/vegans?
I think Finnmark is probably one of the least vegetarian parts of Norway, and that the options are accordingly slim. However, I am sure they will do their best to please you. Bash me if I'm wrong dear northerners.
@@bjornnyland Is this some "Norge-special"? In Sweden, 230V is between phase and ground, which always gives you 400V between phases. There's no such thing as a 230V 3-phase. Does Norge use 230V between phases?
@@bluebikerathar That's amazing, I had no idea! I thought power distribution was completely standardized across Europe. 230V between phases is almost like the US... (here they have 120V phase-ground but 240V phase-phase because most homes only have 2-phase power where the phases are 180 degrees.)
@@bluebikerathar Oh the car itself uses a different charge circuit for AC vs fast charging? I thought the "charger" that you use to plug the car into an AC outlet contained a rectifier to turn it into DC and the car was always supplied with DC to charge.

Björn, I will tell my kids that XMas will not happen this year because uncle Björn has eaten Rudolf. Thanks for the great Video and some insights to the great country. Love it.
7 KW is 32 amps at 220V. and not amazingly it will charge at twice the rate of the 16 at 40 some km per hour. the Zoe however will take up to 22 KW three phase, something which the Tesla seems incapable of. ?????????????????????
Model 3 supports up to 11 kW (400 V 3-phase 16 A). Model X/S supports 16.5 kW and earlier Model S supports 22 kW. The problem with Zoe is that the charger is very inefficient and requires TN network. And no DC fast charging support until now.
you would think that the law in these scandinavian countries would require that a fuel stations must be capable of refueling an electric car as much as a fossil fuel car. But no.
