Fast charging on road trips: how to plan charging stops
Tips for planning charging stops efficiently and avoiding queues at fast chargers in Norway.
The charging curve flattens above 80%
Most EVs charge fastest between 10 and 80% battery. Charging all the way to 100% on a fast charger takes disproportionately long – it's often better to stop around 80% and continue driving.
Plan more than one option
Always have a backup charging station in mind, especially during peak season or along popular routes. EV Advisor's route planner shows charging stops based on the car's real-world range.
