#ArcticEVRoadTrip Day 21 Review: Germany / Netherlands border to Kent, UK
Well, this is it! On the final day of our remarkable journey, we travelled from the Germany / Netherlands border back to our starting point
Electric vehicles are mainstream. The time for early adopters is over; we’re in full rollout mode now. We went road tripping from the UK to the top of mainland Europe and back again. Over 8,000km in three weeks, with fixed destinations each night but without any charge planning until we got in the car each morning.
It’s a real-life demo of the state of charging infrastructure, what EVs can do, the reliability of the tech and the joy of a zero emission road trip.

The popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) is growing rapidly around the world. In the UK, for example, the number of EVs registered has increased by over 100% in 2022-2023. This growth is being driven by a number of factors, including government incentives, increasing range anxiety, and the growing availability of charging infrastructure.
Some countries are ahead of the curve when it comes to charging infrastructure. For example, Norway has over 100,000 public charging points, and it is estimated that there is now more charging capacity in Norway than there are petrol stations. Other countries with a strong commitment to EVs include the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden.
The future of EV charging is likely to be shaped by a number of factors, including the development of new technologies, such as wireless charging and bidirectional charging. These technologies could make it easier and more convenient to charge EVs, and they could also help to reduce the cost of charging.
