For electric cars
Elbilturer
Norway is the easiest country in the world to road-trip in an EV. Nearly every new car sold here is electric, fast chargers line the main roads, and electric cars get a large toll discount. The one thing worth planning is where to charge on the long drives, so here is each big trip broken into charge-and-stay stops.
Charging is everywhere
Fast chargers (150–350 kW) sit at most petrol stations, shopping centres and along every E-road. On a long drive you rarely go more than an hour between options.
Plan around a meal or a bed
The trick on a 1,000 km drive is to put your charging stop where you want to be anyway, a lunch town or your overnight city, so charging costs you no extra time.
EVs pay less in tolls
Electric cars get roughly a 50% toll discount on most Norwegian projects. The cost button on every route works it out for your exact car at BompengeAppen.

The long trips, charge and stay
Each multi-day route below already has natural overnight towns. In an EV, those are your charge-and-stay stops, plug in when you arrive, drive on full in the morning.

Tip: charging-network apps and Norway's own route planners show live charger availability. Plan to arrive at a charger with 10–20% left, and on mountain passes remember that climbing uses more, but you get a lot back on the way down.
