Due to Norway in the electric car penetration rate is far ahead. Volkswagen will not sell fuel models to Norway from 2024.
Norwegian Volkswagen importer Møller Mobility Group confirmed that they will stop accepting orders for fuel cars by December 2023, after which the brand will only sell electric cars in Norway.
According to official Norwegian data, electric cars now account for more than 20% of all passenger cars in the country, and new car penetration has reached a terrifying 84%. If plug-in hybrids are included, the figure rises to 90%.
It’s also worth noting that the Norwegian government plans to ban all fuel vehicles from the road starting in 2025, the earliest fuel ban in the world, so VW made the decision a year early.
Volkswagen has imported more than 102,000 electric vehicles into Norway over the past decade, with the Volkswagen ID.4 being the country’s second best-selling model; the ID.3 ranking eighth; and the Tesla Model Y being the country’s best-selling car, with a total of 15,452 sold in the first half of this year, taking up more than 20% of the market share, according to data.
As the popularity of electric cars in Norway increases dramatically, the country has begun phasing out incentives to buy new energy vehicles, as well as reducing the number of private cars (even electric ones) on the road and encouraging walking, biking, and public transportation.
Starting this year, the country has imposed a 25% value-added tax (VAT) on vehicles with a purchase price of more than 500,000 Norwegian kroner (about RMB 329,899), and this tax system is dynamic, with the more expensive the electric car the higher the VAT generated.
