Here is an overview of the OFV data showing the total of 2,872,652 vehicles in Norway listed by fuel type, with unit count, and current share on roads:
Diesel: 999,715 – 34.80%
Electric: 754,303 – 26.26%
Gasoline: 753,905 – 26.24%
Gasoline Plug-in Hybrid: 198,707 – 6.92%
Gasoline Hybrid: 155,307 – 5.41%
Diesel Plug-in Hybrid: 9,478 – 0.33%
Diesel Hybrid: 896 – 0.03%
LPG: 173 – 0.01%
Hydrogen: 167 – 0.01%
So it’s really 61% vs 26%.
Yep. This is especially annoying when you consider that a 26 % share is newsworthy in itself. However, the real headline should be the fact that 94.2 % of all cars registered in august (in Norway) were fully battery electric!
I wonder where did authors got the title from? Even if you add hybrids and whatnot, you won't get over 50%. 🫣
That's electric Vs pure gasoline only. Technically true, and it shows BEV are progressing in terms of share of cars on the road, but this is a very specific milestone that is only useful for click-baiting.
Ah, ok, they left diesel cars out of the comparison. Then title makes sense. Thanks.
