Private individuals in Norway hardly buy cars with internal combustion engines. Electric cars have taken over almost the entire market

Norway has long been the leader in the electric vehicle market in terms of percentage. The recently launched Tesla Model Y crossover allowed the Norwegian market to set another record.

At the end of September, the share of electric vehicles among new cars sold amounted to 77.5%. Of the 17,992 cars sold in the country in a month, 13,941 were electric. And this is 45.8% more than a year earlier.

But the other part of the statistics is even more impressive. The fact is that, if we talk only about individuals, then electric cars have already been chosen by 91.3% of buyers! That is, ordinary people practically do not buy cars with internal combustion engines. And after all, hybrid cars have not yet been counted. There is no data only on private purchases, but a total of 2508 hybrids were sold, and as a result, electrified cars occupied 91.5% of the total new car market in September.

In fact, cars only in ICEs are mainly chosen by corporate clients and those who use leasing. In particular, in the segment of leasing cars, the share of electric vehicles was only 51.4%, and in general, by the end of the year, it is expected to reach 40.7%.

In terms of the distribution of power in the market, Tesla remains the leader. New for the Norwegian market, the Model Y crossover has already become a bestseller, having sold 3564 cars. It is followed by Model 3 (2218 cars) and the new Skoda Enyaq (787 cars).
