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.

Frequently asked questions

A common strategy is to charge from around 20% to 80% at each stop, rather than waiting until the battery is nearly empty.
