Over the past decade, Norway has seen a significant shift towards electric vehicles, with a staggering 96% of all new cars sold there in 2025 being electric.
According to the latest data from the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV), electric vehicles took a whopping 95.9% share of new vehicle registrations last year, with petrol plug-in and petrol hybrids accounting for 2.8% of sales between them.
Petrol and Diesel engine vehicles commanded an almost insignificant 1.3% of all new car registrations in Norway last year.
However, due to vehicle lifespans, only around a third of cars on Norway’s roads are currently electric – but this will obviously rise as the older gas-guzzlers are gradually scrapped.
