In June 2027, the “Watt Rally”—the first all-electric car rally through Northern Europe—will kick off. 100 teams will tackle a route spanning nearly 3,000 kilometers from Amsterdam to Norway—a real-world test of the interplay between vehicle technology, charging planning, and long-distance capability.

A new rally format set to debut in the summer of 2027 aims to impressively demonstrate that electric mobility is far more than just emission-free commuting in urban areas. The Access Organization Group (AOG), an experienced specialist in automotive rallies, is launching the Watt Rally 2027. It is the first touring rally designed from the ground up exclusively for all-electric vehicles.

A Stress Test for Batteries, Planning, and People

From June 8 to 17, 2027, 100 teams will tackle a challenging and scenic route. The race will kick off in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. From there, the nearly 3,000-kilometer (1,864-mile) route will wind through Germany, Denmark, and Sweden, ending in the spectacular mountain scenery of Hemsedal, Norway.

For engineers and technology enthusiasts, the format holds a special appeal: The Watt Rally is not a traditional time-based motorsports event, but rather an endurance adventure in which battery and range management, smart charging planning, and the specific characteristics of the various electric vehicles naturally become part of the challenge. A wide variety of models from established manufacturers and newcomers—such as Volkswagen, Škoda, Renault, BYD, and XPENG—are expected on the starting grid.

Destination Norway: The Mecca of E-Mobility

It’s no coincidence that the inaugural edition is wrapping up in Norway of all places. The country is regarded worldwide as an absolute pioneer in electric mobility and charging infrastructure. Here, on the final stages through valleys and along scenic roads, the teams can experience not only nature but also a well-developed EV network.

In addition to the driving itself, the ten-day program also includes various challenges designed to foster a sense of community and friendly competition.

From Classic Cars to the Mobility of Tomorrow

Behind the Watt Rally is the Access Organisation Group (AOG), which has organized more than 20 successful touring rallies to date—often in the classic car sector—with approximately 1,500 teams. With this new all-electric format, the organizer is now opening a new chapter.

The goal: to further enhance the image of electric cars and show that even the new generation of vehicles is built for extraordinary road trips and boundless adventures across Europe.
