Norway on track to be first to go all-electric (www.bbc.com)

Summary

Norway leads the world in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, with EVs making up nearly 90% of new car sales in 2024 and over 30% of all cars on its roads.

This shift, driven by decades of policies like tax exemptions for EVs, higher taxes on fossil fuel cars, and perks like free parking, has put Norway on track to phase out new fossil fuel car sales by 2025.

The country's wealth, renewable hydroelectric power, and extensive charging network have enabled its EV revolution, serving as a model for other nations.
