New Vehicle Registrations in Norway Were Nearly 100% Electric in November

Norway saw almost all new car registrations go electric in November. The country recorded 19,427 battery-only vehicles out of 19,899 newly registered passenger cars, pushing the EV share to 97.6 percent and producing one of the largest monthly registration totals the market has seen. 

That jump moved November to the top of the year’s sales calendar. Compared with October and last November, the increase in electric deliveries was dramatic, and conventional gasoline, diesel and hybrid options now account for well under one percent of fresh registrations. The scale of the shift makes inventory and pricing questions immediate concerns for dealers and manufacturers. 

Officials point to a mix of calendar and market forces. The Road Traffic Information Council highlighted looming tax changes, strong dealer discounts, wider availability of lower-priced models and improving consumer sentiment as the main drivers. Geir Inge Stokke, who runs the council, said many buyers are choosing to register now to avoid uncertain VAT adjustments scheduled for next year, and he expects registration volumes to remain high into December. 

Despite recent headwinds, Tesla was the month’s clear leader in Norway. The U.S. company posted 6,215 registrations, roughly a third of the November total, lifting its year-to-date deliveries beyond previous national highs. If December follows the usual seasonal pattern, Tesla is poised to extend that lead and reach a record annual total in Norway. 

Traditional European brands like BMW, Volvo, and Volkswagen also posted measurable gains in November. Volkswagen logged more than two thousand new cars, Volvo pushed close to two thousand, and BMW recorded just over one thousand units. Chinese automakers increased their footprint during the year and showed particular strength in compact crossover segments, though they did not top the November brand rankings. 

Model-level figures show a tight cluster beyond Tesla’s top two. The Model Y remained the best-seller while the Model 3 also contributed strong volumes. Several other models posted three-digit monthly registrations and fought closely for position: Volvo’s EX40, Volkswagen’s ID.4 and ID.7, Volvo’s EX30, Ford’s Explorer, Skoda’s Elroq and Enyaq, and BMW’s iX1 all appeared near the upper range of the table. 

With Norwegian vehicle demand so concentrated on battery-electric cars, manufacturers must manage supply chains and production flow, and policymakers need to anticipate how fiscal and regulatory decisions will affect buyer timing. For Norway, the November surge underlines the country’s role as a global test bed for near-complete electrification, and it raises practical questions about sustaining choice and stable deliveries as adoption scales. 

Entities like Massimo Group (NASDAQ: MAMO) will be hoping that the markets they operate in pick lessons from Norway and implement concrete measures to ramp up electrification in those jurisdictions.
