In terms of the individual models, most new registrations were for Volkswagen ID.3, whose deliveries only started in September. Last month, a total of 986 new electric cars hit the road. This means that 5,451 ID.3 have been delivered in Norway since September, bringing the model to second place in overall statistics in just three months.

However, the lead of the Audi e-tron in the first place is large with 8,773 vehicles, especially considering the e-tron also performed well in November with 569 cars. Also worth mentioning is the MG ZS, which had 644 new registrations in Norway in November.
