🔵 Quick Summary
Innhavet is a strategic EV charging location for drivers on Norway’s main north–south route, the E6. Here, you’ll find Tesla Superchargers, Recharge fast chargers, a gas station, grocery store, and a hotel restaurant – all within walking distance. Not the most convenient for caravans, but manageable with a little planning.
⚙️ Charging Details
📍 Location: Just off the E6, in the rear parking lot of Innhavet Hotell
🔌 Charging points:
6 x 150 kW
4 x 250 kW
2 Recharge fast chargers (50 kW, CCS/CHAdeMO)
🏷️ Operators: Tesla (Superchargers), Recharge
💳 Payment: Tesla app (open to all CCS EVs), Recharge app, RFID, and roaming (e.g., Elton, Plugsurfing)
📲 User Experience
Tesla Superchargers are open to all EVs with a CCS plug, not just Tesla. You start and pay for charging through the Tesla app. This makes it a solid fast-charging option for most EV brands.
The charging site is slightly hidden behind the hotel, and the gravel access road can be bumpy. Charging was smooth and reliable during testing. The site is well-lit, and facilities are close by.
🚗 Space and Access
👍 Pros:
Ample space for regular vehicles
Easy to park and plug in
Walking distance to food, restrooms, and groceries
👎 Cons:
Not ideal for caravans: You must unhitch to access chargers
💡 Tip: You can park your trailer on the gravel area nearby before moving the car to charge. Works well outside peak hours. And if you're lucky enough to be towing, it's a perfect chance to enjoy lunch or take a break while the car charges.

🧭 Our Experience
We charged a Tesla Model X 90D here without issues. Charging was stable and fast, and the Tesla app showed real-time stall status. We took the opportunity to enjoy a surprisingly delicious meal at the hotel restaurant.
