Norway is on the verge of becoming the first country in the world to completely switch to electric vehicles. By 2025, all new cars sold in the country are expected to be exclusively electric, thanks to an extensive network of charging stations and an encouraging policy based on sustainable mobility.
Infrastructure supporting electric mobility
One of the key reasons why Norway is leading the way in electric mobility is its extensive network of charging stations covering the entire country – from major cities to the most remote areas. With hundreds of the latest fast chargers, electric vehicle drivers have seamless access to the energy they need for their journeys.
Investments in public and private charging infrastructure have made electric vehicles affordable and practical for everyone. At the same time, the government is encouraging the purchase of electric vehicles with benefits such as tax breaks, free parking, and access to yellow lanes.
Impressive numbers
By 2023, more than 80% of new cars sold in Norway will be electric. Companies like Tesla, Volkswagen and BMW are leading the market, and consumers are increasingly opting for electric models that now meet all needs.
Norway generates most of its electricity from renewable sources such as hydropower, further strengthening its ecological profile. Charging electric vehicles with “clean” energy means a near-zero carbon footprint.
A world example
Norway's success is an inspiration for other countries seeking to promote electric mobility. Charging stations, fast chargers and incentives for electric vehicle owners prove that a complete transition is possible if there is a strategy and a vision.
Norway is proving that electric cars are not only the future of mobility, but also the key to sustainability.
