We are delighted to tell you about an exciting adventure by our users Marcus and Alex. For the second time since 2023, the two of them have undertaken an impressive 6,000-kilometer road trip in their electric cars, mastering countless &Charge challenges along the way. Last year, we reported on their first tour of Northern Europe. This year, they chose a different route. It was worth it in many ways.
Here are some of the highlights of their trip, which took them from Germany to the world-famous Nordkapp in Norway. Below you can find out how you too can experience such adventures with &Charge.

Alex reports that the challenges fitted seamlessly into her itinerary. Their route crossed many of the challenges anyway, so it didn’t take any extra effort to solve them. The breaks at the IONITY stations were welcome and gave them the opportunity to recover. They made efficient use of the charging times, and the &Charge challenges were an enjoyable way for them to pass the time.
The trip itself was relaxed and free of time pressure, allowing them to enjoy each stage to the full. The journey was the real goal. Alex found it particularly rewarding how the challenges improved his perception of the charging points. By consciously recording the status of the charging points, it became clear how reliable the charging infrastructure is, even in the remote areas of Norway.

The trip to Nordkapp was not only proof of the performance of electric cars over long distances, but also a cultural enrichment. We had some great conversations at the charging stations. Marcus and Alex showed how exciting and uncomplicated road trips can be with the right knowledge and the &Charge challenges. The quality and reliability of the charging stations were remarkable, which strengthens confidence in electromobility.
