Electric cars made up nearly two thirds of Norway's new sales in 2021, with Tesla the top selling automobile brand overall, as the country pursues its goal of becoming the first to end the sale of petrol and diesel cars.
Industry representatives said they expect EV sales to grow to as much as 80% of the total market in Norway in 2022, although supply chain problems could put the brakes on this.
"But there is big uncertainty in that forecast, and it is dependent on the shipping conundrum - many car producers have delivery problems," she added."Norway is the country with the biggest openness to EVs, the biggest understanding of what it is to drive an EV and the most welcoming for having an alternative," Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath told Reuters.
"To launch this premium SUV ... will definitely change the way people will perceive Polestar so I have really big expectations for moving the brand forward," Ingenlath said. Nio launched lavish showrooms in central Oslo in 2021, its first overseas, aiming to sell its ES8 sport-utility vehicles and ET7 sedans as part of plans to expand globally."Our swapping station strategy we will expand quite strongly ," Marius Hayler, head of Nio Norway, said, adding that he expects some 75% of overall car sales to be electric in 2022.
