#baptisteDrivesNorth Day 3, update 3:

I've made it to Tromsø, my (tentative) final destination.

Distance traveled today: 316km / 200 miles
Energy used: 66,834 kWh
Energy cost: 264.14 NOK / 20 EUR / 23 USD
Coffees: 2

What a drive that was. Time for my first shower in 3 days (luckily I was alone in the car), and a nap.

#baptisteDrivesNorth day 3, update 1:

Final charge before my destination, only 1 more hour to go.
The views are still as scenic as ever, I've probably filled up my camera rolls with about a hundred pictures of various combinations of mountains, fjords, and forests.
I made an unplanned charging stop when I saw a sign at a random gas station where they had electricity almost twice as cheap as usual (2.99 per kWh)

#baptisteDrivesNorth day 3 (of 3 I hope)

Local time: 9am
Current temperature: 6°C
Altitude: 36m above sea level
Coffees consumed: 1

Had a great night: no wind and very quiet. Woke up to a gorgeous snowy mountain landscape.
I'm now waiting in line for the ferry which has been fully automated: cameras read license plates and I'll be getting an invoice by email later on (this is also how tolls work all over Norway).

Another 5 ish hours of driving and I'll be in Tromsø.

#baptisteDrivesNorth final update day 2:

Local time: 11:45pm
Outside temperature: 4°C / 39°F
Current altitude: 104m
Total distance traveled today: 736km (about 450 us miles, or 74 Norwegian miles)
Total energy consumed: 98 kWh
Energy cost: 672 NOK (60 EUR / 70 USD)
Coffees consumed: 1.3

Tomorrow I'm getting on a ferry first thing, then once that's done I've only got about 4-5h of driving until my final destination. The end is in sight!

#baptisteDrivesNorth day 2 update 7 maybe?

Made it to the Arctic circle officially. Bad news: I forgot to bring a sticker for the sticker board 😭
I guess I'll have to come back better prepared.

(Also if anyone was wondering, yes there is an ATM here)

#baptisteDrivesNorth day 2 update 6.3

Breaking news: I found the secret #python underscore factory!

#baptisteDrivesNorth day 2 update who knows:

Local time: 3:30pm
Outside temperature: 10°C
Altitude: 46 meters above sea levels
Coffees consumed: just 1 (I overdid it a bit yesterday, especially with the last coffee at 9pm)

I've now entered reindeer country, though haven't seen any actual live reindeers.

The views remain as scenic as ever.

#baptisteDrivesNorth day 2 update 3:

A quick charging session (10min or so) just so I've got enough juice (and some buffer) to get me to my next destination: the city of Mo i Rana (where there is a fast charger that's cheaper).

Absolutely scenic landscape the whole way, what a treat. The fast charger is at a random camping at the foot of the mountain.

#baptisteDrivesNorth day 2 update 2:

I've officially made it to northern Norway, which confusingly is not the most northern county in Norway (far from it actually)
