Driving an EV?

7 fast chargers (50 kW+) listed along this route. Longest stretch without one: 74 km.

Chargers, the longest gap and cold-weather range

Longest stretch without a listed fast charger: 74 km, Akureyri to Siglufjörður.

OpenStreetMap also lists 1 charging place with no socket details and 2 places with DC chargers but no power listed in this stretch. Some may be fast; check the operator's app before relying on one.

Cold-weather range

Expect roughly 20-40% less range in freezing weather, and more in severe cold. Heating, winter tyres and cold batteries all cost range.

Your car's rated (WLTP) range

Coldest reading on this route: 4°C4°C39°F (current readings along the route and the 8-hour forecast at the destination). Between -5 and +10 °C, plan on roughly 70-90% of the rated range. This is a wide band drawn from studies of many cars, not a prediction for yours.

Where these figures come from

Recurrent, winter range study (Nov 2025): 30,000+ cars kept 78% of range on average at 0 °C (best model 88%, worst 69%), about 70% at -7 °C.
NAF, winter planning advice: Plan for 25% shorter range in winter.
NAF El Prix winter 2026: At -7 to -32 °C, cars averaged 38% below their WLTP range (best 29%, worst 46%).
AAA, cold-weather range test (2019): At -7 °C with the heater on, average range fell 41% in a lab test of five cars.

Charger data from OpenStreetMap (snapshot 2026-10-02), may be out of date; check the operator's app for availability. Listed means a DC socket within about 3 km of the route; 50 kW+ counts as fast only when OpenStreetMap lists the power. Strong headwinds and heavy loads reduce range further.

About this route

North to the herring capital and scenic Siglufjörður fjord. Driving conditions on this route are updated every 15 minutes from the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration (Vegagerðin). Weather data comes from the Icelandic Met Office (Vedur.is) and Open-Meteo. In winter (roughly November–April), expect ice, snow, and far shorter daylight hours than shown here in summer - the live conditions above already reflect today's actual state, but budget extra time and check again close to departure.
