EV Charging Parking

EV drivers: Akureyri’s “EV Charging Parking” currently lists ISK 2,500/day

Daily rates sit at ISK 2,500, and the EV Charging Parking area is right next to the Akureyri Main terminal, with about a 1‑minute walk from car to check‑in. Despite the name, there’s no clear public evidence of dedicated charging posts in this lot, either on Isavia’s Akureyri parking page or in recent Iceland Review coverage of the airport’s paid parking rollout.

Airport info for Akureyri specifically calls out free periods and step pricing, but never mentions kilowatt rates, connectors, or the number of charging bays, which you’d normally see when real EV hardware is installed. For planning, assume this is a standard paid lot by the terminal at ISK 2,500 per calendar day, not a guaranteed place to plug in.

TripAdvisor threads where people discuss leaving cars overnight at Akureyri focus on ease of parking and duration of stay, and 0 user posts mention finding or using EV chargers. In a small airport like this, that silence usually means there isn’t a structured EV setup, even if a stray outlet might exist somewhere in the area.

If you’re driving an electric rental from downtown Akureyri, factor in charging at city stations before heading to the airport, since the terminal is only a short drive of around 3–5 km and you likely won’t recover range at the lot itself. Treat the “EV Charging Parking” label as a name in the system rather than a promise of Level 2 or DC fast charge hardware.

Practical tip: call your rental agency or check PlugShare/Chargemap the day before departure; if you don’t see a clearly mapped charger within the Akureyri airport boundary, top off in town and use this lot only for its 1‑minute walk to the terminal.
