The success of electric cars in Norway can be explained by government measure: The country wants every new car sold in 2025 to be an EV. Norway charges, among other things, no import tax, no road tax and 40 percent tax exemption for the business market to stimulate sales.
In addition, EV drivers benefit from various substantial discounts on toll roads, ferries and parking spaces. EVs are also often allowed to use the bus lane.
