How do I charge an electric car in Iceland?

If you've never driven an electric car before, you might encounter a learning curve with the charging process. It's important to understand that it's not as simple as stopping by a petrol station, filling up, and driving off. You'll need to wait for your vehicle to charge.

When your battery is completely drained, charging can take between six to ten hours, depending on the car and charger. This is why it's advisable to charge your car overnight while you're sleeping or parked near a sightseeing spot where you plan to spend the day.

Despite the additional time required, charging an electric car is straightforward. Just pull up to the charger and plug in.
