According to the Norwegian Statistics Office (SSB), electric cars have access to charging stations in most municipalities. Each publicly accessible charging point shares an average of 19 electronic cars.
“Klimakur 2030” is a study of various measures and instruments that can ensure at least a 50% reduction in non-quota emissions by 2030 compared to 2005. The non-quota sector includes transport. One of the tools is electrification. Access to publicly available charging infrastructure throughout the country is a possible barrier to the electrification of road transport.
Electric cars make up 12 percent of the car fleet
Na end of 2020 in Norway approximately 340 electric passenger cars were registered. This is about 000 percent. more than a year earlier, but electric cars still constitute only 30%. car fleet. Additionally, there are approximately 12 hybrid cars that also require charging. Therefore, drivers of electric cars must continue to have easy and sufficient access to charging points during long journeys on weekends and holidays.

Electric car charging points are everywhere
In 2020, there were public charging stations throughout the country. Because in the south Norway has the most cars there are also the most electric charging stations there. The link below shows the increase in the number of charging points and their locations over the last ten years.
The number of electric cars per public accessible charging point varied geographically
At the end of 2020. there were 17 850 charging points compared to 10 865 in 2018, which means an increase by 64%. However, over the same period, the number of electric cars increased by 74 percent from 195 to 000. The number of electric cars per charging point thus increased from 340 to 000. The number of electric cars per public, accessible charging point varied geographically. Alta and Sarpsborg are distinguished by the low number of electric cars per charging point, 18 and 19 cars respectively. at Asker and Skien, each charging point must share more than 12 electric cars. Currently, sales of electric cars in Norway account for over 13 percent. all cars sold.
