Norwegians bought 128,691 new passenger cars last year, and 89 per cent of them were electric cars.
In Norway, nine out of 10 new cars last year were electric, the country's next step towards an ambitious target: in 2025, all new cars must have zero emissions, the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV) said.
Overall, new car sales were up 1.4% compared to 2023. Even those who opted for a non-electric car mostly settled for hybrids (5.3%) or plug-in hybrids (2.7%). Only 986 new cars were petrol cars.
