Norway's push for electric cars is part of its plan to get rid of fossil fuel vehicles by 2025. The country is way ahead of others when it comes to people buying electric cars.
Tesla's Model Y was the most popular car, with 2,107 new registrations. That's almost 20% of all the new cars sold. Other electric cars that did well were the Volvo EX30, Skoda Enyaq, and different Volkswagen ID models.
Norway has made it easy for people to buy electric cars. The government gives tax breaks to those who buy them. There are also lots of places to charge electric cars all over the country. On top of that, Norway really wants to cut down on pollution.
Oyvind Solberg Thorsen, who runs the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV), said:
"No country in the world comes close to Norway in the electric car race."
He also thinks Norway will reach its goal of only selling zero-emission cars by 2025 if things keep going this way.
"If this trend continues, we will soon be on our way to achieving our goal of 100% zero-emission cars by 2025."
Other countries in Europe aren't doing as well with electric cars. They cost more in those places, and there aren't as many charging stations. Because of this, many people are buying hybrid cars instead. But hybrid cars still use some gas, so they're not as good for the environment as fully electric cars.
