Transport & EV Charging

Overview

The transport sector shows strong growth driven by EV charging infrastructure deployment and maritime shore power initiatives. Major operators like Tesla, Ruter, and Oslo Havn are leading large-scale charging and shore power projects, while regulatory streamlining is accelerating smaller installations.

Grid Considerations

Transport infrastructure typically requires 2-35 MW connections with specialized voltage requirements (480V for Tesla Superchargers, high-frequency supply for shore power). Projects often need dedicated substations and transformers, with coastal locations requiring submarine cables for shore power applications.

Regulatory Environment

NVE has streamlined processes for smaller charging installations, with some projects not requiring concessions. Shore power facilities often receive priority due to environmental benefits. Public transport charging (Ruter buses) and rail infrastructure receive favorable regulatory treatment.

Outlook

Continued strong growth expected driven by EU maritime emissions regulations, government EV adoption targets, and expansion of electric public transport. Shore power installations will increase at major ports, while charging infrastructure will densify along transport corridors.
