<div id="readability-page-1"><p>Norway shattered its all-time new car sales record in 2025, and Tesla emerged as the clear winner. A year-end rush ahead of higher EV taxes pushed registrations to nearly 180,000 vehicles, with electric cars accounting for 96% of sales.</p>    <p>Tesla captured roughly one in five new cars in Norway, highlighting its dominance in the world’s most EV-friendly market.</p>    <h2><strong>Norway’s EV rush</strong></h2>    <p>As noted in a <em>CarUp</em> report, Norway’s electric vehicle sales in 2025 surged, thanks in part to buyers rushing ahead of a post–new year VAT increase of roughly 50,000 kronor on many new electric cars. This ended up pulling demand forward and setting a national record with almost 180,000 registrations in 2025.</p>    <p>The result was unprecedented. From the vehicles that were sold in 2025, 96% of new cars sold were fully electric. And from this number, Tesla and its Model Y made their dominance felt. This was highlighted by Geir Inge Stokke, director of OFV, who noted that Tesla was able to achieve its stellar results despite its small vehicle lineup.</p>    <p>“Taking almost 20% market share during a year with record-high new car sales is remarkable in itself. When a brand also achieves such volumes with so few models, it says a lot about both demand and Tesla’s impact on the Norwegian market,” Stokke stated.</p>    <figure><div> <blockquote><div lang="en" dir="ltr"><p>Norway finishes record-breaking 2025 with 95.9% of the 179,550 new vehicles registered being EVs.</p><p>Total vehicle registrations jumped 40% YoY.@Tesla remained the Top Car Brand for the 5th year in a row with 34,385 vehicles registered — one in every five new cars on the road… pic.twitter.com/HFoA7pTLmW</p></div>— Brian Basson (@BassonBrain) January 5, 2026</blockquote> </div></figure>    <h2><strong>Tesla domination</strong></h2>    <p>Tesla led all brands in Norway with 34,285 registrations, which is equal to a 19.1% market share.
