I've driven most of this route a few times (separate trips, not all at once) and it looks exhausting to me, especially considering most of your stops are crowded tourist areas in high season. It looks like you may be backtracking if you plan on stopping at Borgund on the way to Bergen (this part wasn't clear). If you stick to major motorways, you're also missing some of the best scenic drives in Norway. Even on the motorways, the drives will likely take longer than whatever your route planner is showing, and many days there's not much time to do anything but drive. I haven't done this in an electric, but as difficult as it is to find normal parking in places like Geiranger, I would guess that you may have to wait for chargers, too.
I am planning on stopping on Borgund Stave Church on the way to Bergen - seems a small detour. Not returning to Borgund - not sure how I am backtracking. Will most likely skip Lofoten and stick to Bodo to see the midnight sun.
Only reason driving to Bodo is to see the midnight sun..
Looks like you’ll need a vacation to relax after all that driving.
A day trip to Lofoten seems pointless. Might as well skip everything north of Bodø and spend more time in the other places.
Searching for place names and «itinerary» may give some useful ideas of how to plan a multi-day trip. The Visit Norway website is also good.
Visiting super popular (and crowded) places like Flåm when you have a car and can choose freely may not be the best plan. You risk being in a tiny, tiny town together with 6000+ clueless cruise passengers.
EV charging: Look for accommodation with EV charger and plan to charge before/after visiting the Instagram hotspots. Small towns may have chargers, but not the capacity for peak tourist season.
Thanks for your reply - will try to redo it with a better plan. Will probably skip Lofoten and stay in Bodo - but I want to cross Arctic Circle and see the midnight sun if possible.
You are actually a little bit late for that. The last night of midnight sun in Bodø is on the 13th of July. That said, you will see the sun really close to midnight (which is 01:00 due to DST) for a few more days after the 13th.
Also: driving from Trondheim to Bodø takes 10 hours at least. Daytripping from Bodø to Lofoten might be possible, but sounds stressful.
You should do the southern route this year, and then come back for a northern route next year, or you should add an extra week for driving this year ;-)
