Tesla electric cars are Norway's new car market leader

Norway is a country where the majority of the inhabitants are committed to environmentally friendly technologies. It's no surprise that in 2019, Tesla's vehicles took the lead in the new vehicle segment. Writes about it Bloomberg.

In 2019, the share of electric cars among purchased new cars was 42%. The main merit in this Tesla Model 3, which is very popular among the inhabitants of the Scandinavian country.

Tesla sold 19 electric cars in Norway last year. Of this number, 15,7 thousand cars are Model 3.

If you take into account not only new, but all cars, Volkswagen is the leader in the Norwegian market. She overtook the American automaker by only 150 cars. The total share of sales of Volkswagen and Tesla in the Norwegian market was 13%.

The Nordic countries are the most important market for Tesla. This is the third most active region for the American automaker, according to a report from the third quarter of 2019. Model 3 has no competitors at all. In the ranking of the most popular cars, the electric car even overtook its “brother” Nissan Leaf, which was predicted to be enormously popular in this part of the world. It can be assumed that in the future the situation for Tesla will be even more favorable. Today, Norway has the largest number of electric cars per capita. The tendency to switch to safe transport has gained momentum and is not going to lose ground.
