Snowbirding the Electric Way – Part 2

Category: Adventurous retirement

By Bill Carito:

April 13, 2023 — I wrote in January about our experience driving an all-electric Volkswagen Id.4 from Portland, Maine to Key West, Florida (see Snowbirding Electrically – Part 1). Thought I should provide an update about our trip home. The verdict? Totally uneventful, which is what you want from a long drive home.

Just saw an article that 80% of the new cars sold in Norway are electric. So they are way ahead of us. It has been a challenge for them to provide enough charging stations at peak travel periods, but they are working on it. Gas station workers are not facing mass unemployment, air pollution is way down, and the streets are quieter. Norway will end sales of internal combustion cars in 2025. One phenomenon - chargers at Circle K's are popular as people stop and have a snack or coffee while charging. NewYorkTimes
