Norway will soon reach a milestone as a nation; surpassing Norway’s stated target of zero-emission vehicle sales by 2025. During the first month of 2025, the new cars were close to 96% which is a strong signal that the nation is committed to clean energy and sustainability.
Norwegian tax incentives, exemption from tolls and a widespread charging infrastructure are the driving forces for this. This approach is different from other European countries that have been banning internal combustion engines. Instead, the capital city of Oslo has been using non-financial incentives for people to buy the cars.
Even though giving up some of the benefits along the way, EVs still become the main source of the community. In the case of Norway, the country’s extensive network of charging points is the solution, which boosts confidence in the electric car market and, thus, the development of electric vehicles for long journeys.
The most conservative estimations are that Norway will reach almost 100% EV sales by the year’s end and thus Norway will be a major leader in the field of sustainable transportation on a global scale. It is vital to keep on the government’s existing incentives on the used EV market.
