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.

@kottke The economics of EVs cannot be beat for most people once you've done the ground work for renewables.

Currently, yes, many EVs are powered by fossil fuels (indirectly), but as grids transition to renewables, EVs get a free lift. (Or you could put up about a dozen standard-sized panels at home and get that free lift right now.)

Fossil-driven cars are at a dead end. They can't come along for the ride as renewables enter the picture.
