OSLO, Jan 4 ― Nearly two-thirds of all new car registrations in Norway in 2021 were electric vehicles , an industry body said yesterday, a figure unmatched in the world.

Thanks in particular to its Model 3, US electric car manufacturer Tesla took 11.6 per cent of the market share and was the single best-selling brand in 2021 with over 20,000 units sold. “Few had envisaged that 2021 would be a record year for new car sales in Norway. And no country in the world has had such a growth in electric car sales as Norway,” OFV director Oyvind Solberg Thorsen said in a statement.

Norway ― which is also Western Europe's largest oil producer― has set a goal to have all new cars be zero-emission, meaning electric and hydrogen-powered, by 2025.
