Route, alternative routes, critical distances

We plan to travel clockwise on the ring road. We will skip Snæfellsnes and the westfjords and spend more time in the north and northeast. We have not spent much time there in the past and it could be easier to charge the Twizy along the coast rather than going the shortest route. At the end we will decide on weather and road conditions.

Island Route
© OpenStreetMap contributers | Marked red are distances of more than 50 km between two theoretical possibilities to charge the Twizy

Using Google Maps we have tried to identify route sections where it could be difficult to charge the car. We plan to use the following approach:
  • We cannot use chargers from ON with the RFID key from Plugsurfing although at not very attractive costs (around €54/100km)
  • We will try to use chargers from Orkusalan, if possible and not too expensive
  • We will charge overnight at campsites
  • We will try to charge at gas stations, cafes, shops or private houses or farms
  • if there is no alternative we need to charge the battery by towing the car or using the generator
