In 2021 in Norway registered 176 new cars personal data. Thus, the 35-year-old record was broken, and by a lot.

113 new passenger cars are electric cars, representing 715% of new cars and representing a clear increase from 64,5. Overall, only 2020% of new cars are fossil fuel cars, according to the Traffic Information Council (OFV).

The old record for registering new passenger cars dates back to 1986, when 167.352 cars were registered.

- With the current registration rate and the share of 64,5 percent. of new electric cars in 2021, we can already have a total of half a million electric cars in the Norwegian car fleet in March. We are approaching 20 percent of the total of 2,8 million passenger cars. It's pretty amazing, says Øyvind Solberg Thorsen (OFV).

54,4 percent new passenger cars had four-wheel drive, the share of American and Chinese brands has also increased. In 2021, almost 100 older gasoline and diesel cars were also observed disappearing from the Norwegian car fleet.
