Electric vehicles (EVs) are steadily gaining ground, with their numbers increasing globally.
While some countries are adopting EVs more quickly than others, one nation stands out as a leader in this transition. If you guessed Northern Europe, you’re on the right track. According to Electrek, the Scandinavian region is set to achieve an impressive milestone.
In Norway, electric cars are now surpassing traditional gas-powered vehicles. This isn’t a futuristic scenario from a sci-fi novel, but a current reality. Soon, there will be more electric cars on Norwegian roads than those powered solely by gasoline. This shift is driven not only by strong government support but also by the population’s desire to protect the environment and embrace cleaner energy sources.
Norway has long been a global leader in electric mobility, consistently setting records for EV sales. In August of this year, electric vehicles made up 94% of all new car sales in the country.
By comparison, most nations plan to phase out the sale of gas-powered cars by around 2035, while Norway is aiming to reach that goal by 2025 — and they’re already well on their way.
