US EditionI'm in Norway — and EVs Are Everywhere. Here's What the Country Has Done Differently
NORWAY, JUL 13 – Chinese electric vehicle brands hold roughly 10% of Norway's market share due to competitive pricing and tariff-free imports, challenging established European and U.S. automakers.
- On September 27, 2024, Oslo Taxi displayed a NIO ET5 electric vehicle, reflecting China's rising presence in Norway's EV market.
- Norway’s choice to keep Chinese electric vehicles tariff-free has supported their expansion in the market, in contrast to the U.S. and EU, which have introduced duties to protect their domestic car manufacturers.
- Norway's EV market share reached close to 94% in the first half of 2025, with at least 20 Chinese EV models available and several brands among top sellers.
- Luman from ING noted that Chinese EVs offer competitive technology and pricing, while Europe still needs more affordable models to challenge China's lead.
- Norway's open market and lack of auto industry make it a key entry point for Chinese EVs in Europe, increasing competition and shaping the continent's EV adoption.
