More than half of all cars sold in Norway in 2020 were exclusively electric-powered. These are the data of the local Norwegian specialized agency. Pure electric vehicles alone accounted for as much as 54% of all new car sales, and if cars with hybrid powerplants were taken into account, the figure would be even higher.

Statistics showed that pure gasoline and diesel cars accounted for only 8% and 9% of sales, respectively. The most popular models in Norway were the Audi e-tron, Volkswagen e-Golf, as well as the Hyundai Konda, Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model 3.

It is noted that back in 2010, the share of electric vehicles accounted for less than 1% of the total supply of new cars. In 2018, this figure increased to 42.4%, in 2020-to 54.3%.

Such a high demand for electric vehicles is facilitated by the state's policy, which encourages local residents to buy environmentally friendly transport. Those who purchase eco-friendly cars are given generous subsidies, and transactions are tax-free.

In addition, for owners of cars with electric engines, free travel on expressways is provided. Finally, drivers of such cars are allowed to drive on lanes allocated for public transport, and stations for refueling batteries are located every 50 km.
