The popularity of electric cars in Norway
Electric cars are becoming increasingly important in Norway. The market share of battery and plug-in hybrid cars in the country highly grew in recent years, reaching some 88 percent as of 2022. By contrast, the market share stood at 0.1 percent thirteen years earlier. The reason for the growing popularity of electric cars in Norway is that the government for example reduced taxes and increased subsidies for electric car owners.
