STAVANGER TO BERGEN - FJORDS, FERRIES, EVS, OH MY! NORWAY ROAD TRIP IN VW ID.3 PART 3

EV Channels Review

This video documents the third part of a road trip from Stavanger to Bergen in a Volkswagen ID.3, focusing on the scenic route involving fjords and ferries. The reviewer expresses disappointment that the initial fjord cruise was on a diesel boat, not electric as advertised, highlighting a "bait and switch" experience. The journey includes two ferry crossings, with notes on EV discounts and Apple Maps' handling of ferry mileage. The reviewer also details charging experiences at various locations, including Ionity and Alpitronic Hyperchargers, and conducts a 10-80% charging test on the ID.3, achieving an average of 73 kW over 32.5 minutes. Practical tips are shared regarding ferry usage, charging infrastructure in Norway, and the overall pace of road-tripping compared to the US. The reviewer finds the ID.3 to be a capable and efficient road trip car for two people in Norway, praising its space and efficiency at local speeds, though noting it becomes less efficient at higher speeds. Food costs and availability are highlighted as challenges for tourists.
