According to Sawyer Merritt, Norway set a new all-time record for new car sales in 2025, driven by a year-end surge before higher EV taxes and resulting in approximately 180,000 vehicle registrations. Tesla led the market, capturing a significant 20% share. Notably, electric vehicles accounted for 96% of total new car sales, underscoring Norway's rapid EV adoption and the effectiveness of supportive government policies. This trend highlights key opportunities for AI-powered automotive solutions, such as intelligent fleet management, predictive maintenance, and advanced driver-assistance systems, as automakers and technology providers capitalize on the expanding EV ecosystem in Norway.
