Lofoten islands
Ten days on the Norwegian Scenic Route Lofoten, from the Bodo ferry or the E10 at Lodingen to the village of A. Stockfish racks, granite walls, and a sea that keeps changing its mind. Distances are short; Tesla Superchargers in Svolvaer and Leknes plus Recharge in Reine make the islands easy in an EV if you do not chase every side road on an empty battery.
Season: The E10 stays open year-round; winter is polar night and wind, summer is midnight sun and camper queues. Ferries from Bodo to Moskenes run in all seasons but book EV spaces in July.
