Norway has once again cemented its position as the world’s frontrunner in the shift to electric cars. In September 2025, 98.3% of all new vehicles were fully electric. Of the 14,329 cars registered, 14,084 could be plugged in, while the combined share of gasoline and diesel models together with hybrids dwindled to a token 1.7%.According to the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, that’s an all-time high. Even for a country where EV sales have long topped 90%, September read like a turning point: internal-combustion engines are on the brink of disappearing.The market was led, as usual, by the Tesla Model Y with 4,132 cars and a 28.8% share. The Model 3 followed with 696 units, and the Volvo EX30 rounded out the top three with 581. In total, Tesla commanded 33.7% of the market, making it the outright leader in Europe.Strikingly, the surge in electrification coincided with rising volumes overall: sales were up 10% compared with September 2024. Since the start of the year, more than 113,000 vehicles have been sold, 95% of them electric.These figures translate not only into record-low emissions—just 2 g/km of CO2—but into sweeping changes across the ecosystem. Fuel stations are thinning out, mechanical workshops are losing customers, and fixing an ICE car is becoming rare and costly. Even the most stubborn skeptics are being forced to concede that there’s no real alternative left.
