The rise of new energy vehicles: a global perspective Norway’s leading position in new energy vehicles

As the global energy transition continues to advance, the popularity of new energy vehicles has become an important indicator of progress in the transportation sector of various countries. Among them, Norway stands out as a pioneer and has made remarkable achievements in the popularization of electric vehicles. Public data shows that in 2024, pure electric vehicles accounted for as much as 88.9% of new car sales in Norway, and the penetration rate of pure electric vehicles in November alone reached an astonishing 93.6%.

 This achievement is largely due to the strong policy support of the Norwegian government. The Norwegian government imposes high taxes on gasoline and diesel vehicles, and exempts electric vehicles from import taxes and value-added taxes, which greatly reduces the cost of car purchases for consumers. In addition, the government has also introduced a series of preferential policies, including exemption from tolls and parking fees, and allowing electric vehicles to use bus lanes. These measures not only encourage consumers to choose electric vehicles, but also create a good environment for the development of the new energy vehicle market.

 Furthermore, the development of charging infrastructure has played a vital role in Norway’s success. With over 27,000 public charging stations, equivalent to approximately 500 charging stations per 100,000 inhabitants, Norway has made significant progress in ensuring that electric vehicle users have easy access to charging facilities. Many traditional gas stations have been replaced by fast-charging stations, further improving the accessibility of electric vehicles. Coupled with an electricity grid that is over 90% hydro-dependent, Norway has laid a solid foundation for widespread adoption of electric vehicles, with 82% of electric vehicles charged at home.

 Advantages of China’s new energy vehicles

 As the global new energy vehicle market continues to expand, the introduction of Chinese new energy vehicles has brought many benefits to European countries. One of the most significant benefits is the potential reduction in carbon emissions. Chinese new energy vehicles mainly use electric drive systems, which can effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions, thereby helping European countries achieve climate goals and promote sustainable development.

 In addition, China’s strong R&D capabilities in battery technology, smart driving and car networking can promote technological innovation and cooperation within Europe. The introduction of new energy vehicles in China can be a catalyst for progress in these areas, ultimately benefiting the entire automotive industry. By adopting these innovations, European automakers can enhance their competitiveness and promote progress in this field.

 The entry of Chinese new energy vehicles into the European market has also enhanced consumer choice and market competition. Currently, there are more than 160 electric models on the European market, providing consumers with a wealth of choices. Increased competition will not only help lower prices, but also encourage local automakers to improve product quality and further innovate. As a result, consumers will benefit from a more dynamic and competitive auto market.

 Call to action for sustainable transport

 The growing popularity of new energy vehicles, especially in countries such as Norway, highlights the urgent need to jointly shift to sustainable transportation solutions. The entry of Chinese new energy vehicles into the European market can greatly facilitate this transition, enrich the automotive supply chain and reduce dependence on the single market. By diversifying the supply chain, Europe can enhance resilience and flexibility and ensure a stronger automotive industry.

 In addition, the widespread adoption of new energy vehicles is likely to stimulate increased investment in charging infrastructure across Europe. This investment will not only promote the growth of the new energy vehicle market, but also promote the development of related industries, creating new jobs in manufacturing, services and infrastructure construction. As the demand for electric vehicles increases, the demand for skilled labor and innovative solutions will also increase to support this emerging industry.

 In summary, Norway’s successful experience in promoting new energy vehicles, combined with China’s advantages in new energy vehicles, provides European countries with a unique opportunity to achieve sustainable transportation. By investing in electric vehicles and supporting the development of charging infrastructure, Europe can make significant progress in achieving climate goals while promoting economic growth and creating jobs. Consumers, policymakers and industry stakeholders must recognize the benefits of new energy vehicles and actively participate in this transformational journey towards a green future. Now is the time to take action – embrace change, invest in new energy vehicles, and build a sustainable tomorrow.
