There Are Now More Fully Electric Cars On Norwegian Roads Than Gas Cars
The Norwegian Road Traffic Information Council has reported a milestone -- the number of fully electric vehicles on roads has surpassed the number of gas cars for the first time ever!
Here is an overview of the OFV data showing the total of 2,872,652 vehicles in Norway listed by fuel type, with unit count, and current share on roads:
Diesel: 999,715 – 34.80% Electric: 754,303 – 26.26% Gasoline: 753,905 – 26.24% Gasoline Plug-in Hybrid: 198,707 – 6.92% Gasoline Hybrid: 155,307 – 5.41% Diesel Plug-in Hybrid: 9,478 – 0.33% Diesel Hybrid: 896 – 0.03% LPG: 173 – 0.01% Hydrogen: 167 – 0.01%So it’s really 61% vs 26%.
Yep. This is especially annoying when you consider that a 26 % share is newsworthy in itself. However, the real headline should be the fact that 94.2 % of all cars registered in august (in Norway) were fully battery electric!
I wonder where did authors got the title from? Even if you add hybrids and whatnot, you won't get over 50%. 🫣
