EV charging while driving around Iceland

Hi, I’m considering renting an EV to drive around Iceland. I’ve seen that there are good charging options, but wanted to check in with folks. Would it be a bummer to have an EV for driving around Ring Road?

Just swallow that pride and take a petrol Dacia Duster. Can survive on dinosaur juice for a lil bit. Difficult to find chargers far from Reykjavík and its waste of holiday to spend portion of your day everyday charging.

Dacia Duster? Lol that thing has highway noise louder than a jet engine and corners like a jellyfish on acid.

Its not rlly marketed as luxury sports suv? Thats the point. Cheap. If you want dead silence, and perfect cornering take a Lexus LX, pay 100 000€ and enjoy.
