September saw Norway’s plugin electric vehicles take 89.1% of the market, down year on year from 91.5% share. Whilst full electrics saw very slight growth in share, plugin hybrids lost share. Overall auto volumes were at 14,646 units, down 18.6% YoY, though still up from pre-2020 seasonal norms . The Tesla Model Y was September’s best seller, albeit down in volume YoY.
Meanwhile, since the start of this year, PHEVs have dropped off in Norway , so the slip-up of BEVs is all the more visible. Likewise, the Kia Niro, having completed its model refresh, is now picking up strength again, though still just missing the top 20 chart, in 21st rank. The new Nio ET7, a large, high end, long-range, performance sedan, with battery swap, saw an initial 6 deliveries. The new and much awaited Volkswagen ID.Buzz finally saw its first deliveries in September, with 5 units.
