Norway’s EV Registration Surge 2014-2022

Norway set a target for all new car sales to be electric by 2025 and ban the sale of conventional cars.

Norway has implemented strong EV policies and incentives which started in 1990 with the temporary cancellation of import tax that was then made permanent in 1996.

Besides the abolishment of import tax on purchases, its incentives include 25% VAT exemption, no road tax, no toll charges or charges on ferries, free  parking, and access to bus lanes.

December 2022 was a record-breaking month for EV registrations in Norway, due to an influx of battery-powered EV deliveries in the final month of the year.
