The Cost of Travelling in Norway

Hi again investigator, in this page I am going to give you information related to costs in Norway that will help you solve the case of how to lower your carbon transport footprint! I personally found price ranges and estimates for all sorts of vehicles, so that you could have a complete understanding of how much your trip is going to cost. I also put the resources to which I’m referring to in each paragraph, so that you can investigate furthermore on your own, and some useful links that you might find helpful.
Think of them as clues to help both your investigation and movements in this country.

Moving by car

What about the fuel costs? Thanks to the “Energipris per 100 km” of the Norwegian Public Road Administration, vegvesen.no, the price difference between diesel, petrol and electricity used to charge an electric car when you are going to drive 100 kilometres with a small, medium or large passenger car. The prices are an average for the whole country in the last quarter, rounded to the nearest krone. The estimate is based on the 3 best-selling cars within each segment and energy type.

	Compact	Between	SUV Mid-Range
Electric Home Charging	21 Kr	22 kr	22 kr
Diesel	108 kr	110kr	112 kr
Bensin	126 kr	171 kr	160 kr
