The days of ICE vehicles in Norway are numbered. Some years ago, the government set a goal of 100% electric sales by 2025, and that goal is well within sight. In the month of February, plug-in vehicles took 92.1% of the market, up from 90.1% year-on-year. Battery EVs took a 90% share, as recent tax changes make PHEVs less appealing. Volkswagen sold its last gas-powered car in Norway last December, and it seems likely that other brands will follow.
