I am glad I did not take the advice to drive down the coast of Norway, as I would have needed therapy, because driving so slow on roads where one can clearly drive a lot faster is unnerving to me. I know the scenery must be beatiful and all, but this is a road trip and driving is supposed to be...

Shortened day to be physically and mentally recharged with proper rest and sleep today. Also to catch up with our obligations, including posting my daily reports which I was unable to do the last two days.

First I would like to say this adventure was magnificent and I want to thank my son-in-law for sharing my dream, and making it possible. The car never missed a beat, was a charm to drive and made us smile all the way. The charging was faultless, except once at Iberdrola Guarromán, where in...

Just past midnight, and after another memorable dinner at King Crab House in Honningsvåg, arriving again at closing time. Today, the delays were due to the very low speed limits in Finland and Norway and their high penalties. ABRP was very optimistic in the time taken for each section, even...

At least an hour and a half more were added to our trip time. We made it just in time to arrive at closing time for our delicious dinner at CG Restaurant. We were very tired and ultimately went to sleep at 3am after dinner, recharge at a 175kw charger, check-in at the hotel… all this without...

Unable to keep our schedule again today, due to intermittent storms. Was unable to use the mostly unlimited stretches of road today, due to the storms. I was forced to drive very slowly with poor visibility and afterwards I continued on our route North.. Charging mostly uneventful at...

Actually my daughter came to visit us while we charged at Ionity Malmö. :like:The photo she took of us, reminds me of Lightning McQueen’s stance throughout the movies. :giggle: Wouldn’t be seen dead at a Burger King. Last time I ate there must be 35 years ago. :facepalm:

We arrived 1:30 later than originally planned. Very few unlimited speed stretches with quite a bit of traffic and drivers continually cutting into the left lane, even if they were traveling considerably slower than us. Disappointing as we were expecting a better opportunity to enjoy the...

Started at 6%, battery at 37°C, outside temp at 33,5°C, using Ionity. :clap:

From Castelldefels to Girona we had some serious delays and detours because of minor accidents on the motorway. However we had very efficient charging and in part to driving with a light foot today through France, to avoid any Gendarmes lurking for speeders, we were able to skip the charger in...

Today we had a long day, up at 05:45 and left at 07.00. Exciting and tiring beginning, with gale winds in Tarifa. Took plenty photos and we were beaten by an unceasing strong wind that threw sand into your eyes and everything else… then on to Valencia and we had to stop 5 times today due to...

After a friendly chat with the Tarifa Guardia Civil, we were told to be at 8am at the barracks for them to open the gates for us to Isla de Tarifa. We were expecting to leave an hour later to catch some more shuteye. Today was okay although we had issues charging at Endesa Andamur Guarromán...

A highly adventurous day with several setbacks even before the start of the trip. The Sotogrande Ionity charger was supposed to open yesterday, but there are new delays due to bureaucratic documentation not being accepted on time. The alternate Marbella Porsche dealer chargers (2) are out of...

I have noticed several improvements lately. My car seems to have a faster PCM response time, I would swear my front and rear camera views are sharper, my Google search is back (yeah!) and my navigation calculation time seems to be faster. :clap: 2020 Taycan.

Preparations under way: rear tires changed, check-up and levels top-up at dealer, windshield washing liquid, paper and squeegee ready for frunk, charging cards and dongles in car, driver haircut, and continuous ABRP, Chargefinder, Ionity, Electromaps, Recarga Pública (Iberdrola), JuicePass...

Hard to beat… you must drive from the paddock about 1 minute to the parking annex ! This track is beautiful old school, opened in 1966. it has lots of vertical change and challenging off-camber curves … last used for F1 in 1981. Sees daily use for all kind of events. Look forward to...

I just set my profile to 60% to charge for a couple of hours while my solar still has the capacity before sundown. Suddenly I notice when I inserted the cable from the PMCC, the fans started running and I received a notification on my iPhone that charging would end at almost 21:00. I glanced...

Do you know whether these are 400V ? I saw some on my route to Nordkapp that advertise 250kw but if they are 400V that would be 150kw (my car has the 150kw/400V option) and nearby there are 175kw chargers which are 800V. Also, do you know if they are open to people from other countries ...

One crazy challenge: Tarifa to Nordkapp, one 100% Electric car: Porsche Taycan Turbo Two friends: my son-in-law and I Three objectives: Complete a 30+ year dream: Drive from Tarifa, Spain to Nordkapp, Norway Demonstrate the maturity of the electric car and ultrafast charging infrastructure in...

See https://www.porsche.com/international/aboutporsche/e-performance/#charge-map You can filter station types, change Taycan models. However, always check on other sources whether the stations that appear are working. I have found the best to be the apps from each charger network.
