Diesel and gasoline have no chance. In this EU country, almost all new cars are already electric, they spend as “warm corners” – FonTech

The concept of electromobility moves the automotive world more and more, and more and as current trends suggest, the demand for electric cars is growing in perhaps every European country. No wonder, then, that many experts are already saying that they can do it in a few years electric cars push burners out of the market.

Norway is the main European market for electromobility

For a long time now, Norway has been at the forefront of the transition from incinerators to electric cars, and as the first country in the world to stop selling cars with petrol and diesel engines by 2025, the news agency writes. Reuters.

As the portal informs Electrek, whenever new models of electric cars appeared on the Norwegian market, the increase in sales was significant. The last disturbance was taken care of by the electric Tesla Model Y, which was for Europeans have long been “under the counter” goods.

The Model Y was the best-selling electric car in August. This electric crossover of the American carmaker became the best-selling vehicle on the Norwegian market with 19.8%. In close proximity behind it was placed Model 3 with 12.3% and “medal” partitions closed with 4.4% Too bad with Enyaq.

According to statistics from the Norwegian OFV (Opplysningsrådet for Veitrafikken), up to 77.5% of all new cars sold in Norway last year were purely electric.

“Of all 17,992 newly registered passenger cars in September, 13,941 were purely electric, ie 77.5 %. Compared to the same month last year, this is an increase of 45.8%, “ quotes the Electrek portal by the Norwegian authority.

Electric cars have gained enormous popularity in Norway, mainly due to state support, which does not come in the form of subsidies but in the form of benefits, such as exemption from registration taxes, motorway tolls, but especially exemptions from high VAT. The icing on the cake is the possibility of charging for free or driving through the lanes for electric cars.

Norwegians are clearly showing the world how to push battery vehicles into the market, and many countries can only envy them for these benefits and access. It’s not for nothing Norway referred to as the “mecca” of electromobility.

However, Norwegians are expected to lose some benefits in the future. According to the available information, the tax exemption for the purchase of electric cars was intended only as an incentive to introduce new technologies, and it simply has to end once.

However, some experts disagree and stress that if these benefits were revoked at the wrong time, it would slow down the electrification of the country.
