I wrote the below in a different thread some time ago. The text is updated and reposted here as it might be found by more:
The latest SuperCharger additions makes the North cape adventure much easier. There is still a few challenges ahead:
1.
Setermoen to Nordkapp (North cape),
Lofoten islands,
The coastal road from north of Trondheim towards Lofoten (not the E6 which is also going north on a more inland route).
All of these stretches are without superchargers - thus you will need to use type2/shuko/red/blue. The distance from Setermoen (current northernmost supercharger) to Nordkapp is too far. A future supercharger seems to come at Skibotn (just 515km left to go to Nordkapp from there) - it is listed for 2016.. Let's hope it arrives before and that Alta, Honningsvåg/Nordkapp. Lakselv and Tana will follow. That would give full supercharger coverage for the top of Norway.
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:
Bring your type 2 cable (very few places for that in northern Norway - but useful down south),
Bring adapters (read below to be able to use various red or blue outlets),
Bring patience for Shuko charging (13A),
Bring creativity and enthusiasm for asking the natives for help and access to plugs at garages, harbours, ferries, workshops, kitchens, and at the back of grocery stores (where the rubbish compactor usually is located - and connected to a red or blue plug)
2. The promised ChaDeMo adapter would help as there are many of ChaDeMo chargers around (almost all in the southern half of Norway). If you got one - find your ChaDeMo chargers here:
Hurtigladekartet - they are as you can see very few north of Trondheim (one each in Bodø, Sortland and Tromsø) - a few more are coming. PS: Read the info on each charger at hurtigladekartet in advance. Most (all?) ChaDeMo chargers require a membership type card to activate.
3. Be aware of various schemes for getting access to the type 2 22kW plugs - some are freely accessible=free use, some requires an SMS to be sent to open the lid, some require an RFID card (some just any card=free use, others a specific card=some kind of payment scheme), and some require an old fashioned key (usually free). Find type 2 plugs and how to get access to them here:
Hurtigladekartet (tick off for type 2 both "hurtig" and "semihurtig" - many of these will deliver 22kW or more, but some only 11kW)
4. There are also many slow-charging options. Usually 10, 13 or 16A. Always Shuko. Usually free. In cities and towns on public parking the "municipal parking key" might be required to open the lid to get access to the plug. Check with the public parking company - you should be able to get one for free. At shopping centers, hotels etc.. these would be freely accessible.
5. High power plug options. You might find all of these:
- Red 3phase 16A outlet - you need the red adapter for the UMC (Tesla sells these).
- Red 3 phase 32A outlet - you need a 32A->16A adapter + the above mentioned red adapter for the UMC.
- Blue 3 phase 16A outlet - you need a 16A adapter to connect to the red adapter for the UMC.
- Blue 1 phase 16A outlet - you need a 16A adapter to connect to the red adapter for the UMC.
- Blue 1 phase 32A outlet - you need the blue adapter for the UMC (Tesla sells these).
