Electric vehicle market share - selected markets H1 2021

In Norway, over half of all new vehicles registered in the first half of 2021 were all-electric vehicles. The Tesla Model 3 electric vehicle was the second best-selling car model in 2020: Norwegian car owners purchased some 7,770 Model 3 cars in 2020. The most popular model in the country, the Audi e-tron, was also an electric vehicle. Taking the wheel Norway is at the center of the electric vehicle movement; this is despite having an overall population of around 5.4 million. Notwithstanding the country’s high penetration rate of electric vehicles, a car parc of around 2.8 million suggests that the level of electric car sales is lower than in some of the larger markets, including the United States and China. An estimated 340,000 electric vehicles were in use across Norway in 2020. Knowing your BEVs from your PHEVs A BEV has no internal combustion engine or fuel tank; it runs entirely on electricity. The rechargeable battery can be powered at home, work, or at a charging station – Norway had just under 17,000 publicly accessible electric vehicle charges in 2020. A PHEV also has a rechargeable battery that is capable of powering the car on its own and can be charged by plugging into a power source. However, the range of a PHEV is usually much smaller (usually between 15 and 50 miles). Hence, should the electric charge deplete, the vehicle also has an internal combustion engine that will start operating.

在挪威，2021年上半年登记注册的所有新车辆中，超过一半均为纯电动汽车。特斯拉Model 3电动汽车在2020年成为了销量第二高的车型：挪威车主在2020年购买了约7,770辆Model 3汽车。在该国最受欢迎的车型奥迪e-tron同样也是一款电动汽车。尽管挪威的总人口约为540万，但挪威正站在电动汽车革命的前沿；这一现象尤为引人注目。尽管该国电动汽车的渗透率较高，但大约280万辆的汽车保有量表明，电动汽车的销量低于一些更大的市场，包括美国和中国。据估计，2020年挪威共有约34万辆电动汽车在运行。区分纯电动汽车（BEV）与插电式混合动力汽车（PHEV）：纯电动汽车无内燃机或油箱，完全依赖电力运行。可充电电池可在家庭、工作场所或充电站进行充电——2020年挪威有近17,000个公共电动汽车充电站。插电式混合动力汽车也配备有可充电电池，能够在不依赖外部电源的情况下驱动汽车，并且可以通过接入电源进行充电。然而，插电式混合动力汽车的续航里程通常较小（通常在15至50英里之间）。因此，一旦电动汽车的电量耗尽，车辆还将启动内燃机以继续运行。
