New milestone: Norway now has over 10,000 fast chargers

Norway has now passed a major milestone with over 10,000 fast chargers for electric vehicles across the country. The rapid expansion comes as the nation pushes toward its goal of selling only zero-emission cars by 2025. In just the last nine months, 1,000 new fast chargers have been installed.

The latest figures show 10,024 fast chargers operating in Norway. More than half of these were built in the past three years, reflecting a surge in infrastructure growth. Nearly 90% of the chargers now provide at least 150 kilowatts of power, making them some of the fastest available.

All newly installed chargers support contactless payment, allowing drivers to pay with a phone or bank card. This move simplifies charging for both locals and visitors. The expansion is driven by several key companies. Ionity, known for its high-power highway chargers, has recently launched 500 kW pilot sites in partnership with Ekoenergetyka. Ekoenergetyka itself supplies 350–500 kW chargers used by Ionity and others. Tesla continues to grow its Supercharger network, while national initiatives like ASKO/NorgesGruppen focus on megawatt charging for larger vehicles. Regional energy providers and charging operators are also rolling out more DC fast and high-power chargers. Distribution varies across the country. Innlandet leads with nearly 1,500 fast chargers, whereas Finnmark has just over 100.

Norway’s fast-charging network now exceeds 10,000 units, with most offering high-power output and contactless payment. The push aligns with the country’s 2025 target for zero-emission vehicle sales. Companies and regional operators continue to expand access, ensuring broader coverage for electric vehicle drivers.
