Did Norway Eliminate the Combustion Engine?

Norway has long been at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution, with one in every three cars on its roads being electric or hybrid. The Nordic country’s ambitious goal to phase out sales of new fossil fuel cars by 2025 is well on track, leading many to believe that Norway has effectively killed the combustion engine.

The incentives for Electric vehicles in Norway are unmatched, with exemptions from taxes, tolls, and parking fees, as well as access to bus lanes. This, coupled with a well-developed charging infrastructure, has made electric vehicles a much more attractive option for consumers.

The success of Norway’s electric vehicle program has sparked interest and initiatives in other countries around the world. With the transportation sector accounting for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions, the shift towards electric vehicles could have a substantial impact on reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change.

Overall, Norway’s commitment to electric vehicles has set a new standard for sustainable transportation and has put the combustion engine on the path to extinction.
