Illustrated comparison inspired by the place and case. Conceptual scenes, not a photographic before and after.
How the change works
- 01 / Public decision
Charging and purchasing rules
- 02 / Physical change
Less fossil fuel during use
- 03 / Possible outcome
Emissions also related to the electricity mix
Taxation and charging infrastructure influence the vehicles purchased; the electric mix determines an important part of the emissions during use.
Research and local documents ↓What the evidence tells us
According to OFV, electric cars accounted for 88.9% of new Norwegian registrations in 2024.
Electric share among new cars
88.9 %Electric cars
11.1 %Other new cars
The complement 11.1% is calculated as 100 − 88.9. It is not the share of the entire fleet in circulation nor the percentage of emissions avoided.

| Other new cars | 11.1 % |
The complement 11.1% is calculated as 100 − 88.9. It is not the share of the entire fleet in circulation nor the percentage of emissions avoided.
Conditions and limits
The share concerns new sales, not all cars in circulation nor an equivalent reduction in emissions. Batteries, materials and occupied space remain relevant.
Other possible benefits
Less exhaust emissions; tires and congestion remain.
