Norway new-car market now 89% electric

13th January 2025

Just short of 89% of the new cars sold in Norway last year were battery electric vehicles (BEVs), this according to statistics released by the Norwegian Road Federation.

In 2023, the BEV share reached 82.4%, compared with 79.3% in 2022.

Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association secretary-general Christina Bu says the association is hopeful that the Nordic country will reach 100% BEV new-car sales this year.

“We can already celebrate that electric cars have become the natural choice for most people. I firmly believe this trend will continue, and Norway is on track to reach its 2025 goal.”

In 2016, the Norwegian Parliament committed to the goal that all new cars sold in 2025 should be zero-emission vehicles.

Norway’s best-selling vehicle is the Tesla Model Y.

The shift in drive-train in Norway is primarily the result of a comprehensive set of government incentives promoting the sale of zero-emission vehicles.

In terms of trucks and buses, 12.6% of newly registered heavy-duty vehicles in Norway were classified as zero-emission last year, with the goal to reach 100% by 2030, with the use of biogas included.
