Norway is on track to realize its ambitious goal of eliminating new fossil-fuel cars by 2025. The latest figures from the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV) reveal that nearly all new cars registered in 2025 were electric or plug-in hybrids, marking a critical achievement in the nation's journey towards sustainable transportation.
In 2025, a total of 179,549 new passenger vehicles were registered in Norway. Of these, 172,232 were fully electric, and 2,751 were plug-in hybrids. Together, these zero and low-emission vehicles represented an impressive 95.9% of new car sales, a notable increase from 88.9% in 2024.
Moreover, 97.5% of all new vehicles sold that year had charging capabilities, reinforcing Norway's position as a leader in electric vehicle adoption.
The rest of the registrations included 2,306 conventional hybrids without plug-in capability, 1,773 diesel cars, and merely 487 petrol-powered vehicles. This indicates that just 1.3% of new vehicles sold in Norway in 2025 lacked a traction battery. Notably, there were no registrations of hydrogen-powered cars in 2025, a decrease from nine units the previous year.
Norway's vigorous commitment to electric mobility illustrates its dedication to lowering carbon emissions and promoting a cleaner, greener transportation future.
