Norway Nears Complete Electric Vehicle Adoption

In Norway, 88.9% of new cars sold in 2024 were fully electric, a significant increase from the previous year, nearing the country's goal of eliminating new petrol and diesel car purchases by 2025. This shift is supported by Norway's consistent incentive policies, which impose high taxes on petrol and diesel cars while exempting EVs, and has been maintained across various government administrations. Norway's success in promoting electric vehicles contrasts with other countries that often reverse incentives. Despite remaining users of traditional cars, notably in tourism, the infrastructure is adapting, with more charging stations replacing petrol pumps. This transition reflects not only environmental benefits but also consumer comfort with EVs, despite weather-related charging delays.
