According to the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (OFV), the number of new car registrations in Norway in June was 18,376, of which 17,799 were electric cars. In this context, electric vehicles (EVs) account for 96.9% of the market share. Compared to June 2024, when electric cars accounted for 80% of all new registrations, this technology has increased by 3,790 vehicles.
In addition, in May 2025, Norway registered 4,415 new electric cars.

Last month, only 577 new registrations were not equipped with a fully electric drive system.

These included 152 plug-in hybrids (down 83.7% compared to June 2024) and 223 other types of hybrids (down 89.1%). The market share of hybrids has fallen over the past year, from 17% to 2%.

The market share of pure internal combustion engine cars also fell further: 142 new diesel cars accounted for 0.8% of the market, down from 2% in the same period last year; 57 new gasoline cars accounted for 0.3% of the market, compared with 1% in June 2024.

Pure electric vehicles dominate the national model statistics. Although hybrid models entered the top ten last year, the trend in June 2025 is different.

Tesla Model Y continues to top the list with 5,004 new registrations, accounting for 27.2% of all new registrations. Toyota bZ4X (825 units) and Volkswagen ID.4 (714 units) ranked second and third respectively.

Tesla Model 3 also made the list with 639 new registrations, followed by BYD Hiace 7 with 604 registrations.
The following models include the Volkswagen ID.3 (573), Skoda Enyaq (461), Volvo EX30 (433), Volkswagen ID.7 (428) and Volvo EX40 (384).

In the data from the beginning of the year to date, Model Y is still far ahead of bZ4X (4801 units) and ID.4 (3923 units), with 11,006 new registrations, which means that the top three rankings have not changed.

However, it is followed by two other Volkswagen models - ID.7 (3075) and ID.3 (2953), and then Nissan Ariya (2808) in sixth place: in June, the Japanese electric SUV performed weakly and ranked only eleventh.

The half-year results show that not only electric vehicles continue to grow, but also the Norwegian car market as a whole has recovered, especially electric vehicles.

A total of 75,515 new cars were sold in the first half of this year, an increase of 23% year-on-year.

"Our multiple promotions with 0% or very low interest rates on new car purchases have significantly boosted sales. The first interest rate cut by the Norwegian Bank ensured that many people bought their dream car," said OFV Director Øyvind Solberg Thorse.

"Whether Tesla can maintain its strong position and for how long remains to be seen."

It is worth noting that new models and new brands continue to enter the market and quickly gain popularity. Solberg Thorse said: "Many of these models are characterized by a combination of price, equipment, space and range, which brings fierce competition to dealers and importers and leads to fierce competition for future new car buyers."
