Electric vehicles will no longer be exempted from the road toll in Norway.
The only exemption is Kristiansand - CS where electric vehicles can still enter the toll stations without having to pay the road toll.
The road toll in Norway is collected by AutoPASS.
AutoPASS is the Norwegian system for the collection of road tolls. It is owned by Statens vegvesen [Norwegian Public Roads Administration]. All tolls stations in Norway are automated, except for the Atlantic Ocean Tunnel and some ferries. For efficient payment of tolls, we recommend you obtain an AutoPASS contract and an electronic toll payment tag.
Visitors' Payment offers payment via Euro Parking Collection for visitors to Norway with foreign-registered vehicles.
With an AutoPASS contract you may also use the tag in Denmark and Sweden on ferries and bridges (the EasyGo partnership).
The use of road tolls to fund road building has a long tradition in Norway. AutoPASS is the Norwegian system for the collection of tolls.
Most toll collection points in Norway are automated. You pass straight through without stopping.
The main objective of toll funding is to achieve faster development of road infrastructure. Additionally, funds may be used for other purposes, such as strengthening public transport in cities.
In 2018 there were 62 different toll projects collecting toll payments at 251 toll stations and nine ferry routes.
