In Norway, something special happened in March: Of the 18,300 new cars registered in the country, over 10,700, or 58%, were 100% electric cars. It’s a record even for Norway, and it’s amazing if we take into account that in the EU countries electricity has about 1% of the market, according to hotnews.ro.

The road was long uphere, and it contained both encouragements and constraints, with Norway, alongside Denmark, being the country where gasoline and diesel cars are the most expensive in Europe.

In Norway, some 150,000 new cars per year are sold, and the share of e-cars has grown fantastically, from 5% of sales in 2013 to over 30% last year and 60% in March 2019.

In Norway, 147,000 new cars were sold last year, and the best year was 2017, with 158,000 cars. In the last decade, the worst year was 2009, with 98,000 cars sold.

Well, last year, 46,000 full-electric cars were sold in Norway, that is 70 times more than in Romania, three times more than in the United Kingdom and 10,000 over the figures of Germany. The value is impressive if we take into account that Norway has only 5.3 million inhabitants.
