Home vs public charging in Norway — the 5 cheapest EVs to charge
Public and DC fast charging in Norway is billed per session by each network and varies widely, so we model it the way the kernel does on every cost page: 2.5× the home rate — about 3,25 kr/kWh against 1,30 kr/kWh at home. That is a planning estimate, not any network's tariff. Here is what it does to the 5 cheapest-to-charge models we price in Norway:
| Electric model | Per 100 km at home | Public (≈2.5× home) | Extra per year if all-public |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ | 18,02 kr | 45,06 kr | +3 244 kr |
| Mercedes-Benz EQB 250+ | 19,50 kr | 48,75 kr | +3 510 kr |
| Toyota C-HR+ Active 2WD 77 kWh | 19,80 kr | 49,49 kr | +3 563 kr |
| Tesla Model 3 RWD | 20,68 kr | 51,70 kr | +3 723 kr |
| Kia Niro EV | 20,68 kr | 51,70 kr | +3 723 kr |
- Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ is the cheapest EV to charge in Norway — 18,02 kr per 100 km at home — and at the public estimate (45,06 kr) it still beats the 144,90 kr of petrol a 7 L/100 km car burns over the same distance.
- A Mercedes-Benz EQB 250+ draws 13.2 kWh per 100 km, so home charging runs 19,50 kr; at the public estimate (48,75 kr) it still beats the 144,90 kr of petrol a 7 L/100 km car burns over the same distance.
- For the Toyota C-HR+ Active 2WD 77 kWh, public-only charging would add about 3 563 kr a year at 12 000 km/year over charging at home (19,80 kr vs 49,49 kr per 100 km); even then it stays under the 144,90 kr a 7 L/100 km petrol car needs.
- A Tesla Model 3 RWD draws 14 kWh per 100 km, so home charging runs 20,68 kr; at the public estimate (51,70 kr) it still beats the 144,90 kr of petrol a 7 L/100 km car burns over the same distance.
- For the Kia Niro EV, public-only charging would add about 3 723 kr a year at 12 000 km/year over charging at home (20,68 kr vs 51,70 kr per 100 km); even then it stays under the 144,90 kr a 7 L/100 km petrol car needs.
Even at the 2.5× public estimate, all 5 of these models still undercut the 144,90 kr of petrol a typical 7 L/100 km car burns per 100 km — in Norway the charging case survives without a driveway. Our 5-year totals on each model page assume 80% home / 20% public charging at this same multiple — these two columns are the ends of that range.
