Norway on track to be first to go all-electric
Published On Jan 12, 2025, 7:51 PM
Norway is leading the world in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, with 88.9% of new car sales in 2024 being electric, a significant rise from previous years. This shift has been supported by government incentives such as tax exemptions, free parking, and discounted tolls. The country's wealth from oil and gas exports allows it to promote these green technologies without significant economic pressure. Norway aims to achieve a complete transition to zero-emission vehicles by 2025. Other nations look to Norway as a model, but the effectiveness of such policies can vary based on each country's unique circumstances.

Companies like Tesla, which has a strong presence in Norway, and manufacturers benefiting from EV policies may perform well.
