In January, across all of Norway, just 7 gasoline-only cars were sold. The country has transitioned to EVs in just a few short years.
Even after cutting EV incentives, Norway only sold 98 diesel cars in January
Norway cut EV incentives, resulting in a rush and record sales. That would usually cause a hangover, but EVs still took 94% share in January.
