Hi, has anyone rented an electric car? Do you know if it’s easy to find charge points? Our route is Bergen - Sogndal - Lom - Geiranger - Alesund - Kristiansund - Trondheim -Roros - Oslo.
It seemed such a good idea but I’m stressing a bit now as I can’t find much info. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

If a car rental agency is renting electric cars they probably know where charging stations are. I would ask the agency providing the car.

Here's more info from the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association specifically for tourists:

There are links to smartphone apps specific to Norway which show charging stations.

The other guys wouldn’t say it. But this is the craziest idea ever! In my case such a choice would cause me to constantly obsess about the next charging station. Not much fun. A Prius would be much more satisfactory!

You aren't going to save the planet by renting an electric car, you will just add to your headaches.

Thanks all for your advice.
I really had hoped to hear from someone who had rented one themselves but unfortunately that hasn’t happened.
To the poster who (jokingly?) said ‘you’re not going to save the planet’ - my reply is ‘from little things big things grow’. My small action could start a chain of other small actions. Better that than doing nothing!
