Fastcharge Opens New Heavy-Duty Charging Station in Gol – A Key Junction Between East and West
Gol, 10 December 2025
On Wednesday, 10 December 2025, a new fast-charging station for heavy-duty vehicles will open at the designated rest area in Gol. The station features five dedicated high-power charging points for electric trucks and buses, located where National Road 7 and National Road 52 intersect – a strategic junction for traffic between Oslo and Western Norway.
The establishment follows a clearly expressed need for charging infrastructure from transport operators along the east–west corridor, combined with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration’s work to develop a more sustainable road network for heavy transport. Gol’s rest area is already a well-established stop for drivers, with designated parking and rest facilities – now supplemented with dedicated infrastructure for electric heavy vehicles.
Paal Berg, CEO of Fastcharge, says:
“This station is a great example of how collaboration pays off. The need for heavy-vehicle charging along the route between east and west has been well known for a long time, and both transport operators and public stakeholders have pointed to Gol as a natural hub. When we plan and build together, we can ensure that new infrastructure actually meets the transport routes that exist today. The experience from Gol shows that such collaborative models can be applied elsewhere in the country as heavy transport becomes electrified.”

Gol is also a key location in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration’s efforts to facilitate greener goods transport along the country’s main corridors.
Tomas Moen, Seksjonssef i Statens Vegvesen emphasizes:
“Gol is an important junction where National Road 7 and National Road 52 meet, with several thousand vehicles per day and a significant proportion of heavy traffic. The new charging station at Gol means that we can now truly enable electric heavy transport on Road 7 and the Oslo–Bergen corridor. Rest areas with charging create the predictability that the transport industry and drivers depend on. Electrifying the heavy vehicle fleet is an important measure for the Government in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
“A well-developed charging network for heavy-duty vehicles is essential for succeeding in the transition to a climate-friendly and sustainable transport sector. Gol is a key junction between Eastern and Western Norway, and the new charging facility enables even more of our transport routes to be operated with electric trucks,” says Marius Råstad, Logistics Manager Transport at ASKO Norge.
The opening event in Gol gathered representatives from public authorities, the energy sector, and the transport industry. Mayor Heidi Granli, Tomas Moen (Norwegian Public Roads Administration), Victoria Lervik (Hafslund), and Roy Wetterstad (Norwegian Truck Owners Association) gave remarks before participants continued to Kjersti’s Mat & Vinhus for lunch. Several transport operators – including ASKO, Tonerud Transport, and Sundbrei Transport – brought electric trucks, giving attendees the opportunity to see heavy-vehicle charging in practice and share experiences from the “heavy-duty transition.”
