Norway has a relatively small population of only 5.425 million people, ranking 118th in terms of population and 61st in terms of land area, but Norway is one of the most vigorous countries in Europe in terms of transition to the new energy field. The land area and population are quite exaggerated.
In September of this year, Norway’s electric vehicle penetration rate had risen to 25%, which means that at least a quarter of new cars are electric vehicles, so various electric vehicles and manufacturers are adding bricks and tiles to the country’s new energy infrastructure. Currently, there are more than 1,500 Superchargers in Norway.
Among the newly registered electric vehicles in the country, Tesla was the best performer. As of 2022, Tesla’s sales will be 18,425, accounting for 15.5% of the annual electric vehicle sales, followed by 14,965 and 12.5% of Volkswagen, followed by BMW (8.3%) and Audi (7.1%) and Hyundai (6.3%).
The Tesla Model Y is the best-selling model in the Norwegian market, with sales of 15,289 units so far this year, so Tesla has expanded its EV supercharging pilot program to Norway, allowing owners of other brands of electric vehicles to use the company’s super charger.
Tesla’s super charging station pilot program has expanded to 15 European countries, allowing non-Tesla owners to charge at a certain rate. Rates vary by site and can be reduced by becoming a member, the company said.
