- Norway achieved 96% electric vehicle (EV) share in new car sales by 2025, meeting its national target.
- The government is now phasing out EV incentives, reducing VAT exemptions and planning to eliminate them by 2028.
- Gasoline and diesel cars are nearly obsolete in new sales but still dominate the existing fleet.
- There are concerns that removing incentives could slow or reverse EV adoption, especially as economic conditions change.
- Norway’s experience offers lessons for other countries, like the US, on managing the transition from EV adoption to long-term sustainability.
