2025 Saw EVs At 97.5% Share In Norway - Tesla Model Y Best-Seller - CleanTechnica

In 2025, Norway continued to lead the electric vehicle (EV) transition with plugin EVs capturing a remarkable 97.5% share of new car sales for the full year, up from 91.3% in 2024. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 95.9% of new sales, further eroding the market share of other powertrains. December 2025 was particularly notable, with plugin EVs reaching a 98.5% share and BEVs alone at 97.6%, driven by a surge in sales ahead of upcoming VAT increases on all vehicles starting January 2026. Total auto sales volume for 2025 rose sharply by 53% compared to 2024, reaching 179,547 units. The Tesla Model Y dominated Norway’s EV market, becoming the best-selling passenger car both in December 2025 and for the entire year. It posted its highest monthly sales volume in December with 5,064 units
