Summary
Norway is on track to become the first country to eliminate gasoline and diesel cars from new car sales, with EVs making up over 96% of recent purchases.
Decades of incentives, including tax breaks and infrastructure investments, have driven this shift.
Officials see EV adoption as a “new normal” and aim for electric city buses by 2025.
While other countries lag behind, Norway’s success demonstrates the potential for widespread EV adoption.
But did they stopped exporting oil and gas? /s
Crude oil and natural gas amount to 62% of the total value of Norway’s exports of goods in 2023.

Norways crude oil product amount to less than 2.5% of the global production.
People don’t seem to complain as much about the US who produces just over 16%, or Russia at about 14%.
They do complain a lot about Saudi Arabia who are also at 14%
But that’s emissions outside of our environment so that’s fine, no worries.
Please Europe keep buying our natural gas at record prices.
Why the /s when it’s clearly not sarcasm?
