From Gas to Electric: A Tale of Two Countries

Norway leads the world in electric vehicle adoption, with an astounding 82% of new car sales being EVs in 2023. In stark contrast, the U.S. lagged behind with only 7.6% of new car sales being electric, according to Kelley Blue Book estimates. This impressive feat in Norway is the result of government incentives that began in the 1990s, which saw a significant boost with the introduction of Tesla and other models about a decade ago. Oslo, Norway’s capital, is not just focusing on cars; it’s electrifying ferries, buses, semi-trucks, and even construction equipment. Gas pumps and parking meters are being replaced by EV chargers, creating a truly futuristic landscape.
