In 2011, the very first fast charging station in Norway arrived. Since then, development has been slow and steady, before picking up speed in recent years. &#8211; There were probably some who thought that it was perhaps a little unrealistic that we should manage it before the end of 2025. But we are there now, says secretary general of the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association, Christina Bu. Secretary General of the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association Christina Bu says there has never been such good capacity on the charging network.

In September 2024, there are 760,903 electric cars in Norway. &#8211; As more electric cars are sold, the capacity has improved. We have never had as good a capacity as today, says Bu. By 2030, the government estimates that the need for rapid chargers will increase to 14,000. Not everyone is in the game Even though Norway has reached the milestone of 9,000 rapid chargers, there are still 24 municipalities that do not have rapid chargers. One of them is the municipality of Lur\u00f8y in Helgeland. Municipal director Stian Skj\u00e6rvik says there is no need for fast chargers in the island municipality. &#8211; The residents of Lur\u00f8y are self-sufficient with charging points at home. Then there is not so much need for other charging stations. The tiny island municipality of Lur\u00f8y in Nordland does not see the need for fast chargers.

Skj\u00e6rvik points out that Lur\u00f8y is a municipality that consists of several small islands, and a few kilometers of road. Tourists use the charging points that already exist, and otherwise people charge on the mainland. Less fear of charging In Vestland, there are more than 1,000 fast chargers distributed throughout the county. That pleases the electric drivers in F\u00f8rde. &#8211; Several chargers have arrived, and that is positive. It reduces the pressure on the chargers, which means that you avoid too much queuing and waiting time, says Sandra Instefjord. Sandra Instefjord is happy about several fast chargers.

Precisely because there are chargers along the way, I don&#8217;t think too much about it. You probably calculate how much time you have left, and where most of the chargers are, and then it&#8217;s fine. By 2030, the government estimates that the need for rapid chargers will increase to 14,000.

The chairman of the Vestland electric car association, Christine Henriksen \u00d8degaard, says that there is one question in particular that is repeated by electric car drivers. &#8211; Very often this with payment solutions. There are apps you have to download, and then you have to enter information and Bank ID and nonsense. In 2023, there was a new requirement that all charging stations must have a solution for card payment. Odd Olaf Askeland in Eviny says that they are in the process of retrofitting &#8220;normal&#8221; card solutions on all the chargers that not all have it. &#8211; It is a cost for us, but we have worked a lot to get it in place. So now we are rolling it out on all our chargers. &#8211; Then this will be a great experience for most people.
