Only 7 gasoline cars were sold in Norway last month. Seven! 98 diesel cars & 29 hybrids were also sold, but the rest were EVs. And this comes after Norway cut EV incentives. https://electrek.co/2026/02/03/even-after-cutting-ev-incentives-norway-only-sold-98-diesel-cars-in-january/
Even after cutting EV incentives, Norway only sold 98 diesel cars in January

Norway cut EV incentives, resulting in a rush and record sales. That would usually cause a hangover, but EVs still took 94% share in January.

@freequaybuoy @kottke no combustion cars have been popular in Norway for the last 10 years.

@hoemma @kottke No, but I asked if veggie diesel was popular, as in used a lot, by those people that do use diesel.
