Norway offers extensive tax incentives, making the price of electric cars competitive.
In Norway, sales of electric cars set a new world record: of the new cars bought by the country’s residents in August, electric cars accounted for 94%. This was reported by AFP.
In particular, in August, sales of electric vehicles in the country occupied 94% of the market, which became a new world record.
The most popular is the Tesla Model Y (18.8% of sales), and there is also demand for the Hyundai Kona and Nissan Leaf.
In total, Norwegians bought 10,480 new electric cars in August. However, since the beginning of the year, the total number of electric vehicles has increased to 68,435.
In this regard, in other European countries, high prices and insufficiently developed infrastructure hinder the development of electric vehicles.
Norway has set a goal of selling only zero-emission cars by 2025. The target is 10 years ahead of the corresponding EU targets.
The country offers extensive tax incentives, making electric vehicles competitive.
At the same time, according to the Automobile Manufacturers Association, electric vehicles accounted for 12.1% of new car sales in the EU in July.
We remind you that Tesla has reduced prices for many models of electric cars in the USA, China and other countries.
Tesla has also reportedly recalled 3,878 Cybertrucks due to a malfunction. In cars, the gas pedal cover must be replaced, which can come loose and get stuck in the trim.
