Lysefjord and Preikestolen
Nine days on the Norwegian Scenic Route Ryfylke: the Pulpit Rock trail, Oygardstol above Lysebotn, then Sauda and Roldal. Stavanger Tesla and Recharge in Jorpeland and Sauda make the hairpins to Lysebotn an EV day, not a prayer.
Season: Ryfylke is open year-round with two ferries; the Lysebotn hairpins can ice in winter. Preikestolen trail is best May-October.

Day by day
Stavanger
White wooden streets and a Tesla before the fjord. Tomorrow the trail, not the car, does the climbing.
Why stop hereCharge nearby: Tesla Supercharger (Tesla Supercharger Stavanger) — typical arrival 29%, about 21 min to 80%. Short driving day: charge in the overnight town and keep the climbs honest.
Jorpeland
Preikestolen trailhead. Recharge after the hike; legs empty, battery still at 64.
Why stop hereCharge nearby: Recharge (Recharge Jorpeland) — typical arrival 24%, about 23 min to 80%. Short driving day: charge in the overnight town and keep the climbs honest.
Lysebotn
The hairpins down to the fjord head eat 20 percent. Oygardstol first, then a slow destination charge overnight.
Sauda
Ryfylke lakes the colour of steel. Recharge in town; mountain rain on the stalls.
Why stop hereCharge nearby: Recharge (Recharge Sauda) — typical arrival 19%, about 27 min to 80%. Short driving day: charge in the overnight town and keep the climbs honest.
Stavanger
Roldal pass if open, then the last Tesla. The harbour still smells of oil and rain.
Why stop hereCharge nearby: Tesla Supercharger (Tesla Supercharger Stavanger) — typical arrival 29%, about 21 min to 80%. Pass day: check seasonal closure that morning; a tunnel is a backup, not a ruined holiday.
