It is worth noting that only 59 petrol-powered passenger cars were registered in Norway in November.At the end of November, Norway’s 2023 sales of gasoline-powered vehicles stood at 1,310 units, giving it a cumulative market share of just 1.1 percent. The number of gasoline-powered passenger cars in the country has declined by 1 million over the past 23 years. The fact that gasoline- and diesel-powered cars are disappearing is a clear trend, yet most people probably don’t realize it yet.
