ICELANDIC EV ROAD TRIP: GLACIAL VIEWS AND CHARGING STOPS!

EV Channels Review

This video documents an EV road trip through Iceland's South Coast in a Kia EV6, highlighting both the stunning scenery and the practicalities of electric vehicle travel in the region. The reviewer praises the abundance and quality of charging infrastructure, noting new Alpatronic and Kempower high-speed chargers. However, the driving experience is significantly impacted by Iceland's notoriously unpredictable and harsh weather, with extreme wind, fog, and rain frequently reducing visibility and making driving uncomfortable, even causing doors to be ripped from hands. The reviewer also points out the high cost of parking at attractions and the expense of food. Despite these challenges, the EV6 is presented as a capable vehicle for such a trip, with the reviewer particularly impressed by its charging speed, hitting up to 231 kW at a Kempower station. The video also touches upon the visible effects of climate change at a glacier, reinforcing the decision to drive an EV. Overall, the trip showcases Iceland as a compelling destination for EV enthusiasts, provided travelers are well-prepared for the elements and associated costs.
