In World First, EVs Now Outnumber Gas-Powered Cars in Norway


In a major milestone, electric cars now outnumber gas-powered cars in Norway for the first time, according to the Norwegian Road Federation.

The International Energy Agency said 3.2 percent of cars in the world last year were EVs, but unlike in Norway, the data included rechargeable hybrids. “Now the government just has to make a little extra effort in the 2025 budget bill (to be presented to parliament on October 7) and resist the temptation to raise taxes on EVs while continuing to increase those on fuel cars.” The fast transition to EVs over the past 20 years has helped Norway with its climate targets, which include a greenhouse gas reduction of 55 percent from 1990 levels by 2030.
