Chargo is Norway’s biggest power bank rental system! Through our network of stations offering rentable power banks, we aim to give everyone a portable charging option to make sure you will not run out of battery! Pick up a Chargo from a venue, charge your phone in the venue or on the go, then return the power bank to any of our charging stations. Same idea as publicly shared bikes! No need to worry about running out of battery again! How does it work Each of our charging stations is marked with a QR-code. Download our app, register with your phone number, scan the QR code, and a power bank will pop up, just like a toast from a toaster!

Return it to any station you choose - the same station, any other station available in the map’s app, or you can even bring it home, charge it at home and use it the next day if you would like!
