    This is why the EU mandated the use of credit cards. It's insane that these companies required the use of an app. I've been visiting and hiring cars in Norway for over 20 years. It's easy to do with petrol and diesel (and expensive) but harder to do with electric. You have demonstrated that electric car hire is possible though.

      Hi, yes 100% possible agreed just a little more planning and time for your journey and it’s relatively easy, range anxiety can kick in and depending on your outside air temperature this could decrease your range also at a moments notice, can fluctuate by up to 5-6 degrees just coming down a mountain side…

      @@Lily-hl7pz you have all the big ones there, depends if you hire from the airport or in town I would assume, Hertz, Budget and so on, if you want an electric car I would look for a Tesla to be honest, lots of charge points with longer range’s if you get a dual motor version.

      Thank you for this video. We were struggling too! We downloaded the Mer app and works really well.
