Watching the 4-stage cycling race The Arctic Race of Norway and wow it is soooo scenic. Most of the race is in the 68°-69°N area, well into the Arctic circle.
Fjords, coastal villages, dramatic waterside mountains, marshlands - and every car in this race (130+) is an electric Hyundai (most ioniq5). A support charging network takes batteries and chargers to every team hotel to allow them to be at 100% each day.
Last year we visited Oslo and Bergen, way down in the south.
Bergen is still 18° further north than Hobart is south.
So it is late summer and the temps in this race are low-mid teens. ❄️
Aussies can watch on SBSonDemand.
