Denmark Arch-Road Trip | Day 1

 We had a plan of a big architectural road trip in Denmark. A Clever Story.

This is the first episode where we will discover: Is it possible to do a road trip in Denmark during the harshest part of winter? How many interesting and outstanding places are there around Denmark? How does the architecture differ in cities from south to north of Denmark? Is full electric car capable to drive long distances during the cold season?

This road trip was made in a collaboration with Clever - a leading Danish company in electric vehicle charging https://clever.dk/
