Norway: charging an electric car
The networks you will meet, where they publish their prices, how to pay without an account, and what the drive costs.
What 100 km costs
An electric car using 18 kWh/100 km and a petrol car using 7 L/100 km, each country’s own prices. Two different prices, never averaged. “Home” is Eurostat’s household electricity price including all taxes. “Fast” is the range IONITY publishes for charging without an account: its minimum per country and its “up to” maximum — the price depends on the charging point. One operator, not a national average: other networks, apps and subscriptions can be cheaper or dearer, and no official source publishes a current average for public charging.
The main fast-charging networks
Prices change: always check the operator’s own page or the charger screen before you plug in.
