Market Trends of norway electric cars Industry
Norway leads the way in terms of electric vehicle adoption owing to strong sales growth and government support
- The Norwegian automobile market has witnessed substantial growth in recent years, with a notable surge in demand for electric vehicles, particularly in the passenger car segment. In 2020, while sales of conventional cars plummeted by nearly 48%, electric car sales in Norway surpassed the 100,000 mark, marking a 16.96% growth from the previous year. This trend continued in 2021, with electric car sales surging by an impressive 39.96% compared to 2020. The Tesla Model 3 emerged as the top-selling electric car in Norway, with an annual sales figure of 6,270 units. Electric passenger cars accounted for a significant 64.5% share of all newly registered cars in Norway in 2021.
- Recognizing the momentum, the Norwegian government has set a national target: all new cars sold in the country by 2025 must be electric. This push, coupled with the prospect of a future ban on conventional vehicles, is encouraging consumers to increasingly opt for electric cars. Consequently, Norway witnessed a 1.67% growth in electric car sales in 2022 compared to the previous year.
- The proactive policies and incentives implemented by the Norwegian government are poised to further propel the electric car market. Starting January 2023, the government introduced a VAT exemption for electric vehicles priced above USD 51,700. These incentive schemes will be periodically revised to align with market dynamics. Given these developments, the Norwegian electric car market is projected to witness robust growth from 2024 to 2030.
