Gasoline, diesel new cars all but disappear as Norway EV share hits 98.7 percent
Battery-electric vehicles took a record 98.7 percent share of Norway’s new passenger-car registrations in August, as total registrations slipped 3.4 percent from a year earlier to 13,451. Volkswagen led by brand, followed by Toyota, with BMW, Volvo and China’s Xpeng next. Tesla fell to seventh on sharp annual declines, though it still leads year to date. OFV said further emissions cuts hinge on replacing older gasoline and diesel cars.
