EVs in Norway is not taxed (in general). ICE is so heavily taxed that the tax often exceeds the cost of the car. So, a Tesla is cheaper than a VW Passat. EV sales exploded, and so did the charging network. Norway is self sustained on hydro power, so no emissions anywhere in the power chain.
There is a myriad of different charing stations, all offering 150 kW and up. They are at most spaced 10 km apart in the central part of Norway. And they can all charge from ONE app, ELTON. Watching YouTube on the despair of owners in the US, I have to address this. Ship a ton of your EVs over here, they are affordable, easy to charge and home charging is a breeze.
All homes have a smart power meter, and all utility companies offer an easy to use app that can control the charing of an EV. I use Tibber, and I can control any aspect of the Lightning changing from that app. It even halts the charging and gives me money to charge later, when the grid is less utilized. I get a reward in cash for charging when the grid have free capacity. And at the same time ensures my car is fully charged when I need it to be.
I do not have the FordPass app yet, as AT&T doesn't have any coverage here. But I have none of the griefs that apparently is abundant in the US.
Bottom line, the FordPass app isn't the only way. Or the internett is skewed on the problems of charing in the US.
