Norway’s EV Market Rebounds to 98% BEV Share in February as Tesla Reclaims Top Spot

Tax timing pulled purchases into late 2025, setting up a sharp February snapback.

Overview

Official OFV data show 7,272 new cars registered in February, with 7,127 battery electric vehicles for about a 98% share.
Tesla led all brands with 1,210 registrations, and the Model Y was the best-selling model with 1,073 units.
The rebound followed a VAT-driven January slump, which OFV’s director said is now giving way to a return to more normal activity.
Tesla introduced a seven-seat Model Y for Europe with deliveries due in May and offered Norwegian incentives including a NOK 50,000 bonus through March 31.
Across Europe, momentum was uneven: Tesla registrations jumped 55% in France, declined in Denmark and the Netherlands, and its EU/UK/EFTA share was 0.8% in January as BYD grew to 1.9%.
