This morning, we left pretty early from our hotel in Copenhagen. First order of business was to get some groceries, so we went to SPAR first. A couple of rolls, some toppings and ingredients for a nice salad later, we left CPH for Sweden. That was a surprisingly smooth experience: we turned onto the E20, and mere minutes later, we were in the tunnel and onto the bridge to Malmö. We drove around Malmö towards Löddeköpinge to charge the car’s batteries. While the kWh’s were flowing into the car at a high current, we charged our own batteries with some rolls. We figured that we would head up north along the east coast of Sweden at a faster pace, so we could come down more leisurely through Norway. Our initial target for the day became Sundsvall. Pim got himself a cup of coffee, and off we went.
After about three hours of driving we were getting hungry again, so we stopped for another charging session near Ödeshög. As the battery was filling up with 100kW of power, Pim started chopping onion, cucumber and lettuce for lunch. We mixed in some nuts and had an awesome (and healthy!) lunch.
One more charging stop was needed, and during this break we set out to find our first geocache in Sweden (ever - Pim’s not been here since he started caching). A rather straightforward find, so after that we quickly jumped back in the car and just after seven we arrived at the 2Home hotel in Gävle. We parked the car in the garage and noticed the charging point: awesome! But of course, the adapter to connect the car to the outlet was left in Switzerland, so we’ll have to go for a supercharging sessions tomorrow before we continue northbound.
