Last fall I drove my Tesla Model Y to Tuktoyaktuk, reaching the furthest point north you can drive to in North America.

Now I’m attempting the European version.

Over the next 25 days I’ll be driving through Sweden, Finland, and Norway, ultimately making my way to North Cape, the northernmost point in Europe accessible by road. This time I’ll be doing it in a VW ID. Buzz camper van, kindly provided by Cabin Campers.

What’s already striking is how different this adventure feels. Driving the Dempster Highway to Tuktoyaktuk required months of planning, backup plans for backup plans, careful charging calculations, and a healthy respect for the reality that services can be hundreds of kilometres apart.

In Scandinavia? I’ve done remarkably little planning.

The charging infrastructure here is so extensive that I’m largely making it up as I go. That’s both exciting and slightly terrifying for someone who usually has every charging stop mapped out weeks in advance.

Coverage officially kicks off tomorrow as I leave for Oslo and begin the long journey north.

And before anyone asks, the photo isn’t my camper van. 😄 It’s a tiny VW souvenir I picked up while cycling through Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen—a fitting mascot for the trip ahead.

I’ll be sharing plenty of photos and travel highlights here, but if you’d like the full EV geek experience—including charging stops, costs, route planning, camper life, and lessons learned along the way—follow along on Instagram as I share Stories along the way.

⚡ One of the best parts of EV ownership? Waking up every morning to a fully charged vehicle.

I put together a complete guide to Tesla and EV home charging covering Level 1 vs Level 2 charging, install costs, charging speeds, real-world setup tips, and why I still recommend considering universal chargers even as NACS becomes the new standard.

If you’re thinking about buying an EV or upgrading your setup, this should help. 🚗🔋

Charging with a view ⚡🌊

Stayed at Bayside Resort in Parksville during my Vancouver Island loop and this ended up being one of those perfect EV-friendly stops. Plug in, settle into an oceanfront room, and wake up ready to hit the next stretch fully charged.

It’s also super central, so you can explore Nanaimo, Coombs, and Qualicum Beach without worrying about range or needing extra stops.

This is how EV road trips should feel — easy, scenic, and stress-free.

Coast + Island loop, dialed 🔁🌊

This route turned into one of the most rewarding road trips I’ve done in BC — Sunshine Coast up through Powell River, ferry across, then a full Vancouver Island loop before heading home.

You get a bit of everything… quiet coastal highways, small towns, ferry crossings, and those classic island stops like Nanaimo, Parksville, Coombs, and the Tofino/Ucluelet stretch.

Ran the whole thing as a loop from Vancouver and it just flows. No backtracking, no stress — just a really well-balanced trip.

Mapped out the full itinerary with routes, stops, and timing if you’re thinking about doing it.

Best bang for buck road trip in BC? This one’s hard to beat.

Three ferries, quiet coastal highways, and stops that feel way more remote than they actually are. From Gibsons to Powell River and across to the Island, this loop packs in ocean views, small-town charm, and just enough adventure to keep things interesting.

Did the full EV loop and honestly… one of the easiest, most rewarding trips I’ve done. Charging was a non-issue and the scenery does all the heavy lifting.

The drive to the Arctic Ocean via the Dempster Highway isn’t just another road trip. It’s remote, isolated, and demanding even in a conventional vehicle. When I made the run in a Model Y, it required constant attention to range, conditions, and planning.

That’s why this story stood out to me.

A Chevy Bolt completed the same journey — navigating the same long stretches, sparse infrastructure, and unforgiving road. I wanted to understand what pushed someone to attempt it in a compact EV and how they prepared for such a demanding route.

I reached out for a full interview, and the conversation goes deep into the mindset, strategy, and realities of making that drive work.
