Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Norway's Electric Revolution
Caption: Norway's Electric Revolution. Norway, a leading oil exporter, now has more electric cars on its roads than petrol-driven vehicles. Out of 2.8 million private cars, 754,303 are all-electric, slightly outnumbering petrol cars at 753,905. Norway plans to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2025, striving to be the first nation to do so. Norway’s $1.7 trillion wealth fund allows the government to offer green incentives like tax exemptions for EV buyers. In the early days, environmental activists collaborated with Norway's biggest pop group, A-ha, to promote electric vehicle use. Despite EVs' rise, diesel models remain just under one million, though sales are rapidly declining. Currently, nine out of ten new cars sold in Norway are electric, supported by government incentives. EV owners enjoy benefits like free parking, exempted city tolls, and abundant charging stations, with 2,000 chargers in Oslo alone.
