The Norwegian Road Federation—Opplysningsrådet for Veitrafikken in Norwegian—has announced a seismic shift in electric adoption: There are now more EVs on the country’s roads than gasoline-powered autos.

There are currently 2.8 million passenger cars registered in the country and 26.3% are fully electric, just edging out the share of gassers. Diesels, however, remain the most common vehicle type, accounting for over one-third of Norwegian vehicle registrations. Currently, 34.8% are diesels, 7.3% are plug-in hybrids and 5.4% are hybrids.
