Norway: EV sales continue to look up Jan-June 2019

Norway remains the electric car nation number one: In the first half of 2019, all-electric cars continue to rise in numbers, while new registrations for hybrid vehicles are on the decline. The same can be said of new registrations figures from June.

New registrations in Norway in June: 7,428 electric cars (87% more than in June 2018, market share: 48.4%) + 3,402 hybrid cars (-41.2%, market share: 22.2%), of which 1,440 are plug-in hybrids (-64.0%).

Figures for the first half of the year: 38,904 new electric cars, 13,113 more than in the first half of 2018 + 18,034 new hybrid cars, 6,388 fewer than in the same period last year, of which 8,776 new PHEVs, 6,868 fewer than in the first half of 2018.

Tesla was the most successful manufacturer (3,760 registrations in June, 12,605 in the first half of the year).
