Thank you again, but I have a few questions. I hope you will understand that charging is completely different in the UK, where almost all are free, especially the Rapid chargers on the motorway.
Some of the sites mentioned above say they take credit cards. Does this mean that the charger itself has a credit card payment attached to the charger itself? If this is the case then will it be easy to understand the instructions on the screen?
Because this is a business trip there is still a chance that it will be cancelled or changed, but otherwise I will keep a blog and post the address here. At the moment the dates are the 9 - 12/13th of March in Norway, but travelling 3 days either side of that, so leaving the UK around the 6th of March.

Thank you for all the help and your replies.
I have a Fortum RFID now, it only took a few days to come, but I didn't have to give them any credit card details, so I don't know how I will be charged. The instructions with the card are all in Norwegian (as expected!) so I am not sure what to do next, maybe scan them and translate with google.
I have a Mennekes (Type 2 to Type 1) cable. I have also bought a Schuko to UK plug convertor which I think will work.
What I really need to find is one (or maybe two) fast chargers on the route from Larvik to Oslo and a way of using them. Once in Oslo I won't drive very much and can use a slow charger for my return journey.
I do know that I can use the freight ferry from Immingham (which is only 70 miles from here), but I want to drive across as many countries as I can making two short holidays either side of a few days of work.

Thank you for the replies.
I think it will be easiest to get a ferry to Larvik, which means charging once somewhere along the E18. I understand that Nissan have installed Chademo chargers somewhere along this road?

I have to be in Oslo in early March and would like to try to drive from England in my Nissan Leaf.
I have cards to charge in France/Germany/NL and I have ordered one for Denmark.
I would like some help with the best, quickest, and easiest way to be able to charge in Norway please? I may get a ferry to Oslo and so just need charging in Oslo, or I may get a ferry to Kristiansand and drive to Oslo and so will want to charge on route.
Can you help please?
