A Norwegian Summer Holiday Part 3: Fjords, Drones and Driving

In this video we carry out a drive from Oslo to Årdalstangen at the end of Sognefjord.
In part 3 of this series we take extra time to discuss why I'm still renting a petrol car, a few electric car chargers and drone regulations that need to be considered when using your drone in Norway. Of course there is stunning scenery throughout.

Thanks for bringing us along with your trip. Lovely to see the landscape and infrastructure.

Found it really easy with the Electroverse card in Norway.

Why not rent the car in Oslo. Car hire is available at the train station from which you took the train to Oslo Airport. When it comes to renting an electric car and benefits, you will get lower tolls and cheaper "fuel" with an electric car. By the way, you can use a credit card at Circle K and other charging stations in Norway.

There's no equivalent electric rental price to match the VW Polo size that we ordered. We paid £400. Train station pickups were notably more expensive than airport pickups when we checked.
Cheapest electric deal was £545.
Our petrol came to £100 and tolls £33.
So it was still cheaper than the cheapest electric car option. When you consider the stress I suffered in March 2023, nearly getting stranded at an Eviny charging station, I didn't want to suffer that again.

Can’t like “caller does not have permission”

[@anthonydyer3939]

I don’t think I understand what you mean. I haven’t seen or heard that phrase anywhere in the video.
