Description:
Norway pledged to be the world’s first country to stop selling combustion cars by 2025. <br/>This target won’t be met but the EV market share has passed the 90% mark.<br/><br/><br/>“We’re talking so far this year 3% diesel and 4% gasoline,” Oslo’s electro mobility manager Sture Portvik told CGTN.<br/><br/><br/>Stretching all the way to the Arctic - Norway’s roads span thousands of kilometers through rough terrain. This geographical disadvantage is one of the reasons why the country is not likely to meet the self-imposed target of a 100% EV car sales by the end of this year.<br/><br/><br/>“The last 10% that are not buying an EV at the moment are most likely buying a plug-in hybrid,” Portvik says. “Because they have further distances to go, maybe a cabin up in the mountains.”<br/>#electricvehicle #ev #electriccar #electricvehicles #Norway #car
