About 84% of the new cars registered in Norway last month are electric cars
It is said that electric cars are becoming quite common in Norway, and two-thirds of all new cars sold in 2021 were electric cars.
NorwegianNorwegian Road Federation (OFV)According to the new car registered during January 2022, the 83.7% was an EV car.
And the fact that seems even more amazing is that Porsche Taycan sold better than all the gasoline cars (not EVs) registered as new cars in January 2022 in Norway. very!
For example, there are various gasoline cars sold in Norway, but Porsche is more than the total number of such gasoline cars such as Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, and Mercedes C class. The number of sales of Taycan alone was higher.
Of course, Norway has a smaller population of about 5.3 million than the United States and Japan, so it may not be possible to compare it with a country with a large population, but even so, I think it is amazing.
The number of gasoline-powered vehicles sold in January 2022 in Norway is "175". And the number of Taycan sold is "181".
The sold Porsche 98% is Taycan
Even more surprising is that the total number of Porsche sold in Norway this month was 185, which means that ... only four of the Porsche sold were not Taycan. Are all Taycan.
Taycan ONLY. The fact that the 98% of the Porsche models sold in Norway in January was the Taycan.
Of all the new electric vehicles sold in Norway (2022/1), 19 of the top 20 best-selling electric vehicles are fully electric vehicles (the remaining one is a hybrid Toyota RAV4).
By the way, a total of 7,957 cars were sold (registered as new cars) throughout Norway in January, of which 387 were diesel or gasoline cars (including 175 gasoline cars).
It seems that Tesla's sales were poor this time even with the same full electric car, but it is said that this seems to be a supply problem rather than a Tesla's unpopularity (problem that it is difficult to deliver to Norway).
To put it the other way around, the story that the Taycan itself sold very well this time is only for one month in January, so it may be that there were many new car registrations of Taycan by chance. But even so, I wonder if it's amazing ^^
Why electric cars have become so popular in Norway
It is said that it is by law that electric vehicles have become so popular in Norway, and the sale of gasoline and diesel vehicles will be completely banned in Scandinavian countries from 2025.
In addition, Norway offers very large tax exemptions, road toll discounts, public parking and ferry discounts for electric vehicle buyers.
Compared to a country with a large population or a large land area, it may have been easier to instill various things in people's lives, but even so, the rate of electric vehicles is amazing.
