    Norway committed to no new gas or diesel auto sales starting in 2025.

      During 2020 Pandemic, auto sales continued in Norway giving electric auto's a 54% market share allowing the country to stay on track to stop all gas and diesel auto sales starting in 2025.

    Per Norway's own news and electrek story following up on the local news in Norway, they hit a record 54% electric auto sales market share for 2020. As more and more EV options come to market, gas and diesel sales have crashed. 

    March 2021 gas auto sales were 4.8% of the market with diesel following at 4.7% market share. This is less than half of the market share they had for the same period a year ago. Norway originally set 2025 as a target of electric auto sales only for the whole country and now are on track to ensure this happens without any issue.

    As electrick story does point out, Norway is a small and rich country with strong EV incentives. As such, this has made the auto industry take notice and try to figure out how fast the rest of the world could follow.

    Industry analysts believe the global market will hit 30% at best by 2030 for EVs. Even with or without incentives by local governments, there is strong belief by some that once enough variety is on the market, many will forgo ICE auto's for the simpler to maintain EV's.

    Norway's gas car sales are crashing to a crawl and rest of the world will follow faster than you'd think - Electrek

    • Would love one in a EV powertrain, especially the last Convertible!

    • Yes, seems weekly shootings happen, and the gun nuts do not seem to understand why better controls over how gets guns is desired by the public. So tired of the innocent shooting of people over Gangs, family issues, etc. Columbine was sad, even sadder was Sandy Brook Elementary school. I totally disagreed with the mother who said she wanted to bond better with her mentally reduced son and picked guns and shooting. No commonsense person would give a person with mental reduction in thinking a weapon one would hold but seems the gun nuts have to have their guns.,
    • It's a very sad thing that school and shopping center shootings just seem to run together in one's memory these days ... or you miss knowing about some from the news. It used to be that they were rare and very shocking that you remember them very clearly, meaning where, when, etc.  I'm talking Columbine, for example. Last night, someone visiting SoCal from Reno told me there was a shooting in the valet area of the GSR, formerly the MGM Grand Reno, where he had moved to from SoCal.  I hadn't even heard of this. I just looked it up.  Sadly, it's a true story.
