Record in Norway
94 percent of all new car registrations are electric
Norway wants to register only zero-emission new cars from 2025 - ten years earlier than planned by the EU. On the way there, a new record has now been set in the Scandinavian country.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen In August, almost all newly registered cars were electric - the proportion was 94.3 percent, the country's transport authority announced on Monday. A total of 10,480 new electric cars were registered in August. Most of them were a Model Y from US manufacturer Tesla, which achieved a market share of 18.8 percent. The Kona from Hyundai and the Leaf from Nissan also sold well in Norway.
The head of the transport authority, Öyvind Solberg Thorsen, explained: "If this trend continues, we will soon be on the way to achieving our goal of 100 percent zero-emission cars by 2025."
