EV Charging Cost Calculator — Iceland
Find out exactly what it costs to charge your electric car in Iceland. Iceland uses geothermal and hydro electricity, which makes EV charging significantly cheaper than fuel — but the price varies between home charging, public fast chargers, and highway ultra-fast stations.
The typical household electricity rate in Iceland is around 30–40 ISK/kWh. Public chargers, particularly ultra-fast stations, may charge a premium rate. Adjust the electricity price field to match your actual rate.

How much does it cost to charge an EV in Iceland?
Home charging in Iceland typically costs between 30 and 40 ISK per kWh, making a full charge on a 60 kWh battery cost around 1,800–2,400 ISK. Public fast chargers (50 kW) are available at petrol stations and urban centres, while highway ultra-fast chargers operate at 150 kW or more. Some public chargers use subscription or session fees on top of per-kWh rates.
How long does it take to charge an EV in Iceland?
Charging time depends on your battery size, how much charge you need, and the charger power. A typical 60 kWh EV charging from 20% to 80% (36 kWh) on a 7.4 kW home wallbox takes around 5–6 hours. The same session on a 50 kW fast charger takes under an hour, and on a 150 kW ultra-fast charger takes about 20 minutes. Cold temperatures — common in Iceland in winter — can slow charging speed.
EV charging networks in Iceland
The main public charging networks in Iceland are ON Power (Orka náttúrunnar), N1, and Orkan. N1 petrol stations offer fast chargers at many locations around the country. For long trips on the Ring Road (Route 1), charging infrastructure has improved significantly, but planning ahead is still recommended during winter months.
How this calculator works
Enter your battery capacity (kWh), current and target charge percentages, and your electricity rate (ISK/kWh). The calculator computes the energy needed and multiplies by your rate for the total cost. Charging time is estimated for three charger tiers: 7.4 kW (home wallbox), 50 kW (public fast), and 150 kW (ultra-fast). Results are approximate — real-world times vary with battery temperature, state of health, and charger load.
