Norway leads the world in electric car usage, with a staggering 104,590 electric cars sold in 2023. This accounts for an impressive 82.4% of total car sales, surpassing the 80% mark for the first time ever. Despite the increase in the proportion of electric cars, the total number of electric car sales in 2023 actually decreased compared to 2022, with a 24.4% decline in BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) sales. This decline can be attributed to the overall contraction of the car market, which shrank by 27.2%.
Tesla remains the top-selling brand, capturing a 20% market share, a significant increase from the previous year’s 12.2% share. The best-selling model is the Model Y, with a total of 23,085 units sold, followed by the VW ID.4 with 6,614 units, the Skoda Enyaq with 5,740 units, and the Toyota bZ4X with 5,395 units.
In conclusion, while Norway continues to lead the world in electric car adoption, the overall sales figures for 2023 show a decrease in electric car sales compared to the previous year. Tesla maintains its dominance in the market with the Model Y leading the pack. The market share of electric cars in Norway is a clear indication of the country’s commitment to sustainable transportation.
TLDR: Norway remains at the forefront of the global electric car revolution, with an impressive 82.4% of total car sales in 2023 being electric vehicles. Tesla dominates the market with a 20% market share, and the best-selling model is the Model Y. However, despite the increase in the proportion of electric cars, the total number of electric car sales decreased compared to the previous year, reflecting the contraction of the overall car market.
