I was watching this person’s videos on the matter. And was wondering what your experience has been with EVs and your opinion on the different connectors?

I’m in Norway, and let’s say electric car charging could be better. The main issue we face is that the car charger systems are too fragmented, meaning you have to have an app and account for pretty much every car charging company, and guess what… There’s not a dozen of them, but hundreds.
Another issue we’ve faced a lot is that you’d plug your car into the fast charger, get charged money but the charging won’t start. You get a choise of navigating the ad filled terribly designed apps that barely work and try to cancel or restart charging, or give up and look for another charger in the near vicinity. As far as I can remember, gas pumps have never had these issues, but even a decade into norway’s EV development, these companies still struggle setting up proper working infrastructure.
One thing that’s nice are the toll prices, we pay about NOK 7 kr to pass tolls, while gasoline vehicles pay NOK 29kr, and diesel pay about NOK 65kr to pass tolls.
As of July 23 2024, the conversion for that is:
NOK 7kr = USD $0.63 NOK 29kr = USD $2.63 NOK 65kr = USD $5.89Also if you drive at the wrong time and at the wrong place, those prices might as well be doubled
