How to Pay at Ionity in Norway

Ionity in Norway accepts the Ionity app, contactless bank cards, and Plug & Charge. Since Norway uses NOK, contactless card payment handles the EUR conversion automatically. Many Norwegian drivers use multi-network apps that include Ionity through roaming.

Ionity's ad-hoc rate is approximately 0.75 EUR per kWh. The Norwegian DC average is about 0.45 EUR per kWh (in NOK equivalent), making Ionity substantially more expensive. Home electricity in Norway is around 0.12 EUR per kWh thanks to hydropower, so Ionity fast charging costs roughly 6.5 times the home electricity rate.
