Transport & EV Charging

Overview

The transport and EV charging sector shows strong expansion with 213 active concessions totaling 186.7 MW of consumption capacity and 48 active grid queue positions adding another 480.7 MW. Recent activity includes shore power facilities for cruise ships, electric bus charging infrastructure, and rapid expansion of EV charging networks, particularly Tesla Supercharger stations.

Grid Considerations

Transport infrastructure requires high-capacity connections for fast charging and shore power, typically 2-16 MW per installation. Grid stations often need 22kV connections with step-down transformers to 480V for charging equipment. Shore power facilities require substantial capacity for cruise ships and maritime vessels.

Regulatory Environment

Most EV charging and transport infrastructure projects receive streamlined concession approval, with many Tesla and charging station projects being processed efficiently. Shore power facilities for maritime applications require standard concession processes due to higher power demands.

Outlook

Positive growth trajectory expected as Norway continues electric transport transition. EV charging network expansion will accelerate, public transit electrification will drive demand for high-capacity charging infrastructure, and shore power development will grow with maritime decarbonization efforts.
