Bilkraft (Eviny)

This is a great app to use if you’re traveling around Norway as there are many chargers. If you’re coming from another country , you have to first call this company using the telephone number on the machine. They will register your phone number and provide you a 4 digit access code. From there , you’ll be self sufficient. ( I learned the hard way :) )

Attempted to charge a rental car. You need to enter a phone number to use the app; okay. After a few attempts in which the app interface became non-interactable, we just got stuck behind an error saying, totally unhelpfully, "Ooops, something went wrong. A problem occurred on the service. Please try again later." I guess we just won't drive then!

I’m not a techie and this is my first electric car experience. The app makes finding charging stations easy, and if you find a charging station on your own and then go to the app to use it, the app seems to know which station you’re at, and starting charging takes ten seconds. The feedback it gives while charging is super useful, too, for when you wander off to do something else.
