Charging infrastructure in Sälen
The EV infrastructure in Sälen has grown significantly in recent years. You can charge both along the roads up to the mountains (Rv 70 and Rv 66) and directly in the ski areas. Public AC chargers (Type 2 - 3.7-22 kW) can be found at village centres, shops and car parks, while DC fast chargers (50-250 kW) can be found at strategic locations along the main roads. For convenient overnight charging, destination chargers at accommodation are the most common option.
Common charging points in the mountains
- Lindvallen - around Experium, ICA and Sälfjällstorget.
- Högfjället - at Hotell Högfjället and central car parks.
- Tandådalen and Hundfjället - central areas near lifts.
- Stöten - by the city centre car park and hotel area.
The most common operators are Mer, Recharge, InCharge, E.ON Drive and Tesla (both Supercharger and Destination). For up-to-date information, an app or map is recommended before travelling.

Tips for winter and recharging
Expect 15-30 % less range in the cold, pre-heat the car while plugged in and always bring your own Type-2 cable (as many boxes have sockets rather than a fixed cable). There may be queues at popular stations during Christmas, New Year and sports holidays - have a spare space saved in the app. Move your car when charging is complete at locations labelled “Charging only”.
Executive summary
There are plenty of charging stations for electric cars in Sälen – both public and at private residences. Plan your charging via the app, charge quickly around Mora or Malung on the way up, and charge overnight at the cottage for maximum convenience. Choose accommodation with its own charger, such as Sälengodset or Fjällgodset, and you'll have power ready every morning and a smooth mountain stay without range anxiety.
