Great First Experience
Charging was seamless for a first timer. The connection with Hertz was very comvenient.
Super alternatief voor 🇳🇴
Nieuwere laadpalen moeten mastercard, apple pay etc aanvaarden maar er staan nog oudere (bv snelladers van MER). Om een VIPPS account aan te maken heb je een Noors of Zweeds bank rekeningnummer nodig. Elton to the rescue. Registreerde mijn kredietkaart in de app en kon overal laden 🙂.
Good app
Very easy to use and extremely useful
great app in norway
very happy
The app takes a huge margin
The app announces false prices / takes huge margins (I have an example where it showed 5.5 NOK/kwh while charging 7.9 NOK) and makes sure not to display the actual cost per kwh charged in the « detailed » receipt. The only value added is to be able to track the progress of the charge but given the cost I prefer not to

Easy
Being new to EV charging on this trip to Norway, I am surprised with how easy this app makes everything!
From out of town
Super easy to use, was able to charge my car and plan my routes love it
Great, but……
Great but some chargers not working
Verbindet sich nicht mit der Station
Die App kann keine Verbindung zur Station herstellen.
Please sort out the bugs!
Used this app in Norway with a rental car. Overall does the job so that you can keep the car sufficiently charged for your planned journeys.
App has some real strengths. Easy to sign up even if you are from a foreign country The app will identify chargers across different providers specific to your EV so that you can choose the most convenient. However be aware that Elton doesn’t have access to every public charger ( and you may require another app like Bilkraft or be able to use Norwegian mobile phone payment system Vipps. )
Has inbuilt navigation app that works in CarPlay so that it will take you to your chosen charger. Also provides a receipt for charging fees immediately afterwards that you can keep in touch with app profile and also forward on ( eg if you need to claim expenses).
The app suggests charging points for a selected route, but the algorithm needs some work. Who is going to stop for 9 minutes to add sat a minimal 10% charge and then make another recommended stop to add a larger 60% charge, when a single charging stop would work just as well?
However, the app is buggy and that wasted time for us.
The navigation app dropped out a couple of times and didn’t remember the last destination - not great when you’re trying to find a charger to top up the car before returning (just as well Google maps was working at the time as a backup).
When charging, the app has the ability to instruct the charger to stop, so you don’t have to babysit the car. This didn’t work one time, and we’d left the car to go for a trail walk. Had to come back hours early from our walk to unplug the car and avoid racking up charging costs.
Suspect we would have had better control of charging if we had been connected to the car’s own app as well but that wasn’t an option with a rental car.

Frustrating!
Led us to two charging stations, which it then didn’t recognize. At the third station we could thankfully pay without app.
Does not work
Every time I try to charge it says that it is missing charger info and to restart the app. Have tried that many times and called customer service but it still doesn’t work. Terrible app! It should not be this hard to charge a car
Hilft nicht wirklich
Die App weist mehrere Probleme auf, vor allem funktioniert das Erkennen der Ladesäulen und der Start des Ladevorgangs nicht, auch wenn die Ladesäulen grundsätzlich angezeigt werden.
Ich habe die App in Norwegen auf Empfehlung von Hertz verwendet, und sie hat leider in den meisten Fällen nicht funktioniert.

Bad experience in the Lofoten
In the Lofoten, half of the chargers are not part of the Elton platform. For the remaining half that are present, half of them are actually private (hotel, city hall, …). This makes charging really inconvenient.
Cool
Schnell und unkompliziert. Muss noch Schweden chicken.
Poor Connectivity and Payment Issues
While using an electric rental car in Norway, this was the recommended means for finding and paying for charging stations. Navigation directions weren’t always the best, but what really frustrated us was how we were supposed to use the app to connect to the charger, but that usually had connectivity issues. Once charging was complete, it wouldn’t process the payment with my card on file, and kept giving me the notification that my payment was delinquent and I wouldn’t be able to use the charging stations again. These issues made the app more of a nuisance than a capable tool.

Muchos puntos de carga inexistentes
Existen muchos puntos de carga en el mapa que no son públicos y no se puede acceder a ellos pero están indicados como públicos y abiertos 24h
Does not work properly
The app shows a lot of chargers but some of them cannot be used with the app - why then showing in the epp? Does not make any sense. Had multiple “communication” errors with the app and had to switch chargers several times.
Bien
La app va bien, pero faltan muchas estaciones. He utilizado mas otras en noruega.
Gute APP aber…
Sehr gute App, leider spielt die Navigation öfters verrückt oder funktioniert gar nicht. Das ist schon sehr unpraktisch wenn man unterwegs ist 🤷🏼♂️
