Nearly all cars sold in 2024 fully electric in Norway

Nine out of 10 new cars sold in Norway last year were powered by battery only, registration data showed on Jan. 2, 2025, placing the country within reach of its target of only adding cars that are electric on the road by 2025. Fully electric vehicles accounted for 88.9 percent of new cars sold in 2024, up from 82.4 percent in 2023, data from the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV) showed. Oil-producing Norway penalizes petrol and diesel cars with high taxes, while exempting EVs from import and value-added taxes to make them more attractive, although some levies were reintroduced in 2023. Norway's policies mean that fully electric cars last year overtook pure petrol cars on Norwegian roads.
