Four out of five new cars sold in Norway in 2022 were battery powered, led by Tesla, but some in the industry say new taxes could thwart the country's goal of becoming the first to end the sale of petrol and diesel automobiles by 2025.

Elon Musk's electric-only Tesla Inc. sold more cars in Norway than any other brand for a second consecutive year, clinching a 12.2% share of the overall market ahead of Volkswagen with 11.6%, registration data showed.

The Tesla Model Y was the single most popular model of the year, ahead of Volkswagen's electric ID.4 in second place, and Skoda Enyaq in third. Those who bought an electric Porsche Turbo S last year would have paid at least 1.7 million Norwegian crowns, but if it had been taxed like its petrol-fueled equivalent, the price tag would have been above 2.1 million.

The government has also failed to sufficiently address one of the main practical problems for electric car owners, which involves charging stations and how to pay for their use, he said.

That’s great but what has that got to do with Canadians?

Pushing the Liberal narritve? Norway is not comparable to Canada 🤣

Stupidly is in every country

Wait until reality sets in…

It literally says. 'with the help of generous subsidies' So your Tesla is our Tesla..

People and children from Congo are thanking you. Without you, there would be no work in Cobalt mines.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👎🏽

Total area of Ontario : 1,076,395 sq. km Total area of Norway : 385,207 square kilometres Not quite the same

There is an r word which means to slow for these people.

CTV pushing the agenda

Small country, easier to manage.

And another 9% were hybrids

Hey you left out this part of the story - The country is paying such high subsidies for such small CO2 reductions that it has to sell 100 barrels of oil, emitting 40 tons of CO2, to subsidize an electric car that will cut emissions just one ton.

Just look how Norway is fast moving on EVs this is the future 👇

EVs are practical for shorter distances. Canada is huge compared to Norway. ClimateScam

They drive 20km a day

what CTVnews wont tell you, is that the purchase of these cars are heavily subsidized by the gov, and you know how the pay for that? They take full advantage of their oil and gas wealth

Government in Canada 🍁 had its way 60 percent by 2025? Not 2030….

None cares

How does Norway produce most of their electricity? So ya, that actually makes sense. I still wouldn’t buy one though.

Bunch of white nationalists with all their privilege.
