Norway's Electric Vehicle Incentives

About

Norway's electric vehicle incentives are designed to promote the adoption of eco-friendly vehicles, primarily through tax exemptions and subsidies. The government has abolished taxes and duties on electric vehicles, making them more affordable compared to traditional fossil fuel cars. Additionally, electric car owners are exempt from road tolls, ferry fees, and parking fees in many cities, further enhancing the economic benefits of owning an EV. Norway's extensive charging infrastructure supports these incentives, with over 10,000 charging stations across the country. The government also offers financial support for installing charging stations, ensuring a reliable network for EV owners. Public transport incentives include free charging at public stations and access to bus lanes, encouraging the use of electric vehicles and reducing emissions. These comprehensive incentives have led to a significant increase in EV adoption, with nearly 96% of new cars sold in January 2025 being electric.
