Norway's electric vehicle sales have increased from less than 1% of total auto sales in 2010 to a whopping 88.9% last year.

Summary

Norway is on track to become the first country to eliminate gasoline and diesel cars from new car sales, with EVs making up over 96% of recent purchases.

Decades of incentives, including tax breaks and infrastructure investments, have driven this shift.

Officials see EV adoption as a “new normal” and aim for electric city buses by 2025.

While other countries lag behind, Norway’s success demonstrates the potential for widespread EV adoption.
