In 2025, electric vehicles accounted for 95.9 percent of all new cars sold in Norway, the Norwegian Road Traffic Information Council (OFV) said in a statement on Jan. 2.

“This means that the goal set by politicians 10 years ago has been achieved: New car sales in Norway are now emission-free,” the council stated. A total of 179,550 new passenger cars were registered in 2025, breaking the previous annual record set in 2021.
