Norway Becomes First Country Where Electric Cars Outnumber Petrol Models

Electric vehicles now make up the majority of Norway's car fleet, driven by strong government incentives and environmental goals.

Of Norway's 2.8 million private cars, 754,303 are all-electric, surpassing the 753,905 petrol cars.
Diesel models remain the most numerous at just under one million, but their sales are rapidly declining.
Norway aims to sell only zero-emission vehicles by 2025, a target set 10 years ahead of the European Union's goal.
Generous tax rebates and other incentives have significantly boosted EV sales, with 94.3% of new car registrations in August being all-electric.
Norway's success in EV adoption contrasts sharply with the rest of Europe, where electric car sales have been struggling.
