Norway is on track to be the first all-electric vehicle country. Last year, 88.9 percent of all new cars sold were EVs, according to the BBC. These stats are a far cry from the U.S., where only 8 percent of car sales were EVs in 2024, as reported by Reuters.
"We think it's wrong to advise a customer coming in here today to buy an [internal combustion engine] car because the future is electric," the chief executive of an Oslo-based car dealership Harald A Møller, Ulf Tore, told the BBC. "Long-range, high-charging speed. It's hard to go back."
