07:00 departure · Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway
Day 16 · Amsterdam to Oslo at 07:00
Leave Amsterdam at 07:00 and drive directly home through Hamburg, Denmark, the bridges and Gothenburg. Pick up the dog from family roughly one hour before Oslo.
The plan
Early start, driver changes and a genuine exit plan
The actual first-day pace was 766 km in 7 hrs 56 min. The same pace gives about 15–16 hours of pure progress, but charging, meals, traffic and dog pickup make 17–19 hours more realistic.
- 01
Leave Amsterdam precisely at 07:00 with the car packed and a high battery level.
- 02
Change drivers regularly and combine rapid charging, toilets and meals into as few—but proper—breaks as possible.
- 03
Follow Hamburg, Kolding, the Great Belt, Copenhagen and Øresund without city detours.
- 04
Make a clear status decision in Gothenburg. If fatigue is significant, use a hotel as the safety valve even though the main plan is to continue.
- 05
Pick up the dog from his dog sister, at the girlfriend's sister's home, roughly one hour before Oslo.
- 06
Expect a late-evening dog pickup and arrival in Oslo around 00:00–02:00, depending on traffic and breaks.
ABRP recalculates the route and charging stops. Weather, speed, temperature and actual battery level can change the result.
Worth seeing
Stops and experiences along the way
These are candidates, not a checklist. Energy, weather and traffic decide what actually fits the day.
Great Belt
The first major bridge on the ferry-free route home. Check traffic and wind before arrival.
Official traffic information ↗Øresund Bridge
The bridge marks the return to Scandinavia and the start of the long Swedish section.
Traffic status ↗Gothenburg
Sleepiness and the actual time determine whether the drive continues or safety requires a hotel.
Gothenburg ↗Dog pickup
Arrange the private family pickup in advance because arrival will probably be late in the evening.
