About 95.9% of the new passenger cars registered in Norway last year were electric cars, according to information from the national car market monitoring group OFV.
At the same time, only 1% of the new cars sold in the country in 2025 were equipped with diesel engines, a mere 0.3% were vehicles with gasoline engines, and the rest were hybrids.
Almost every fifth, or approximately 180,000 new vehicles, were Tesla cars. After them, “Volkswagen” follows in second place with approximately 13% market share.
In addition, last year, for the first time in Norway, the share of electric cars out of all cars in the country was higher than the share of vehicles equipped with diesel engines.
Currently, 32.5% of the cars registered in the country as a whole are electric cars, about 31% are diesel cars, and about 23% are cars with gasoline engines. The rest are hybrid cars.
Although certain tax credits and subsidies for the purchase of electric cars have been canceled in Norway in recent years, the attractiveness of these vehicles among consumers has remained.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Europe, high prices and insufficient infrastructure have hindered the sale of electric cars, but the sale of hybrid cars has increased.
