Case study/ Ladeklubben

With a steadfast commitment to mitigating climate change and preserving the environment, Norsk Elbilforening has tirelessly advocated for sustainable transportation solutions.

Read on to learn how their eventual partnership with Deftpower saw the Norwegian EV Association accelerate adoption and significantly improved user experience.

The story

With over 120,000 members, Norsk Elbilforening has promoted electric mobility in Norway for more than 25 years. Their relentless efforts in advancing the electrification of the transport sector have been instrumental in positioning Norway as a global leader in electric cars.

By engaging with policymakers, industry leaders, and the public, they have effectively driven the adoption of electric vehicles and accelerated the development of vital infrastructure. But Norsk Elbilforening identified significant pain points when facilitating convenient and accessible charging solutions across the country that they wanted to solve for the EV owners.

The challenges

  • 1.

    Lack of interoperability between Norwegian charging networks

    The absence of interoperability between charging networks in Norway has resulted in fragmented systems and limited flexibility for EV users. 

  • 2.

    Inconsistent user experience across different charging stations

    EV owners in Norway often face varying user experiences when using other charging stations. 

  • 3.

    Managing prices for charging

    Not being able to negotiate favourable prices for their large client base.
