So my Renault Megane E-tech consumes around 18kWh / 100km during the summer. The previous generation Renault Megane with a petrol engine consumes[1][2] around 7L / 100km.
Prices fluctuates but it's been roughly steady at around 6 NOK / kWh using a supercharger[3] and 21 NOK / L at the pumps.
So to drive 100km it would cost me about 108 NOK for my EV, or 147 NOK if I had the petrol car.
Now, this changes dramatically if you can charge at home. Even during winter with high prices you'll typically not pay more than 3 NOK / kWh and typically around 1 NOK / kWh, so a fraction of the price for petrol.
edit: I should note that coops and similar can get up to 30% in subsidies from the gov't to install chargers in the common parking areas[5], so not just single home owners that can enjoy charging at home.
Ignoring the cost, do you have a parking garage with your rental apartment? Or street parking? My problem here is _where_ to charge, much more than what it would cost. And by "charging at home" I am not limiting it "your own garage, with your house" - anything where you typically park and don't have to run out at midnight to park somewhere else. Convenient enough, so to say.
I currently have my own garage where I can charge, but the previous coop were installing chargers in the shared parking area, so if I had stayed there I could have charged there.
Downtown the municipality has added a lot of curb-side chargers, however pricing isn't very favorable as you have to pay for parking in addition to charging. It was a good deal for a while, not so much anymore. In general parking downtown is hard to find and expensive so not very fun, including for those who live there.
Shared (either private or public) parking very often has chargers. You swipe a tag to sort out billing by user. The cost at these chargers is typically electricity cost + maintenance. Plus lots of employers offer charging at work (usually not free, but the convenience is the point).
Edit: This can be read as me telling the other guy how he should sort things where he lives. That wasn't the intention - I'm describing the situation here in Norway.
Definitely infrastructure investment, here in downtown Reykjavik I park my electric car on the street and there are four regular and one fast charger spots (each with multiple chargers) within easy walking distance of my house. Charging is cheap and convenient which is definitely what's needed to make electric cars viable.
