Norway is going to become the world’s first fully environmentally friendly electric or electric car country.
Nine of the 10 new cars sold in Norway last year were battery-powered. And this year, Norway aims to become a 100% environmentally friendly electric car country.
Harald A. Mole, Oscelo’s largest car importer, has been importing Volkswagens for more than 75 years. But in early 2024, they said goodbye to fossil fuel-powered cars.
Now all the passenger cars in showrooms for sale in the country are electric (EV). Battery-powered cars are now seen on the streets of Naor’s capital. If you look around, you can see that the word ‘E’ is written on the license plate of almost every car.
Norway, a Nordic country with a population of 5.5 million, has quickly become accustomed to electric cars than any other country in the world. The country is now on the verge of becoming the first country in the world to phase out of new fossil fuel-powered cars.
Last year, for the first time, the number of electric cars on Norway’s roads exceeded the number of gasoline-powered cars. And if the number of diesel-powered cars is taken into account, about a third of the total cars on the country’s roads will be electric cars.
According to the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV), electric cars accounted for 88.9% of new cars sold in the country last year. This number is 82.4 percent higher than in 2023.
