Tesla tops car sales in Norway, EV takes hold of 82% of market share

For the third consecutive year, Tesla secured the leading position in Norway’s car sales in 2023, maintaining its dominance over competitors, even amid an ongoing dispute between the US electric vehicle manufacturer and the influential labor unions in the Nordic region.

Nearly 83.3% of the new cars sold in Norway last year were exclusively powered by batteries, and Tesla’s market share surged from 12.2% to 20.0%, according to registration data released on Tuesday.
