Day 4: Oslo (Norway) → Trondheim (Norway)
As we were parked in underground garage at 7.5C – all the snow attached to our car melted overnight – leaving a large puddle all around the car.
Stopping at a Circle K to pick up some proper Norwegian winter screen wash capable of handling –18c temperatures, it was interesting to see the compacted snow in the tyre grove patterns – exactly what it is supposed to do on winter tyres to aid grip.
Today we head northwards to Trondheim.
Stopping at IONITY Øyer to take on-board some energy.
With the E6 well plowed – we’re able to make good progress at the posted speed-limits.
When parking up for rests and food – it is easy to push the car against a snow drift – resulting in blocked sensors that have to be cleared – if you want to have full assistance systems.
Our night-vision camera does have a built-in heater that can melt snow – but the ACC radar requires regular clearing.
It’s a lovely calm and clear day as we climb up to higher altitudes.
Though the outside temperature does drop to -11c. Thankfully our November 2022 manufactured high-voltage heater keeps the cabin warm.
Before dropping down to sea level.
As darkness descends and our matrix lights and night-vision spring to life.
We arrive safely at our hotel – The Britannia – in Trondheim for tonight. The car needs a wash but blends in perfectly here in Norway!
