Norway has cemented its reign as a leader in electric vehicle purchases with nine out of 10 new cars sold in Norway last year being powered by electricity. The Scandinavian nation is "leagues ahead" in the “ electric car race ", said Quartz, and has "become the poster child" for the transition to EVs, said DW.

Nine out of ten cars bought in Norway in 2024 were electric vehicles, according to vehicle registration data, as the Scandinavian country moves closer to its goal of having only electric cars on the roads.

The Norwegian Road Traffic Information Council (OFV) has revealed 128,691 new vehicles were bought in the country last year. That’s a relatively small number, but 114,400 of them were electric.
