Hi Oslo resident.

Just had a streetview browse of your city, first view with the yellow man gave me an oncoming Tesla. I had a look for the chargers but didn't find any, I guess you need an app and to know what to look for.

More noticeable are the trams. Forget electric cars, trams are the future and I liked seeing so many of them. I tried to stay off the tramways as you aren't going to have charging points there, but now I want to know, if you didn't have an app, where would you look in Oslo for a street level charging facility?

Kind of inspired to go there after seeing the sunny day street view pics, lovely place!

Not a Oslo resident, but maybe I can help :)

You can find chargers in Norway by using one of the many maps or apps: https://www.ladestasjoner.no/kart/

Many of the Oslo chargers look like this: https://www.salto.no/media/images/referanser/_big4by3/søyle-...

Here's another one: https://www.google.com/maps/@59.9287152,10.7231221,3a,59.2y,...

With the current gen electric cars it's easy to keep a car charged in Norway. I haven't installed a charging station in the garage yet, so I just park mine at one of the city (Bergen) car parks once per week (while I go to work). A work day of charging gives me about 400 km (250 miles) range.
