Join me at a Circle K just outside Oslo Airport Gardermoen (OSL) for a quick tour of what airport “gas” stations could look like in the EV era: seven 300 kW Alpitronic Hyperchargers, on-site battery storage to buffer the grid and enable peak power, a proper convenience store, vacuums, and easy access before rental-car return. From there I break down why EV rentals in Norway are painless (roaming works, apps like Elton unify payment, chargers are everywhere) and why the U.S. struggles (return-SOC policies, weak hotel charging, poor roaming, slow fleet choices like Bolt, and lack of adapters/training). If airports and rental companies adopt this blueprint—fast turnaround DCFC (≥50 kW), fair low-SOC return options, universal activation, and basic customer education—EV rentals become as easy as gas. What would you change to make U.S. airport EV rentals work?
