Norway Nears 90% EV Market Share but Misses 2025 Combustion Car Ban 🚗

Norway pledged to be the world’s first country to stop selling combustion cars by 2025.
This target won’t be met but the EV market share has passed the 90% mark.


“We’re talking so far this year 3% diesel and 4% gasoline,” Oslo’s electro mobility manager Sture Portvik told CGTN.


Stretching all the way to the Arctic - Norway’s roads span thousands of kilometers through rough terrain. This geographical disadvantage is one of the reasons why the country is not likely to meet the self-imposed target of a 100% EV car sales by the end of this year.


“The last 10% that are not buying an EV at the moment are most likely buying a plug-in hybrid,” Portvik says. “Because they have further distances to go, maybe a cabin up in the mountains.”
