This is not even remotely surprising, but of 7,957 new passenger cars registered in January 2022 in Norway, 6,659 were all-electric, a share of nearly 84%. In fact, 19 of the top 20 were electric cars, with Toyota RAV4 (hybrid) sitting awkwardly in the middle, in 9th place. Hybrids grabbed a 6.8% share last month.
| Model | Numbers | Share (%) |
| Audi Q4 e-tron | 643 | 8.1 |
| Hyundai IONIQ 5 | 477 | 6.0 |
| BMW iX | 444 | 5.6 |
| Skoda Enyaq | 389 | 4.9 |
| Volkswagen ID.4 | 389 | 4.9 |
| Ford Mustang Mach-E | 356 | 4.5 |
| Kia EV6 | 356 | 4.5 |
| Audi e-tron (SUV) | 289 | 3.6 |
| Toyota RAV4 | 271 | 3.4 |
| Polestar 2 | 261 | 3.3 |
| Nissan Leaf | 231 | 2.9 |
| Mercedes-Benz EQA | 189 | 2.4 |
| Mercedes-Benz EQC | 184 | 2.3 |
| Peugeot 2008 (EV) | 184 | 2.3 |
| Porsche Taycan | 181 | 2.3 |
| Hongqi E-HS9 | 175 | 2.2 |
| Volvo C40 (EV) | 170 | 2.1 |
| Kia Niro (EV) | 156 | 2.0 |
| Hyundai Kona (EV) | 152 | 1.9 |
| Volkswagen ID.3 | 125 | 1.6 |
Obviously, sales of pure petrol and diesel cars (we’re talking about non-hybrids) have been declining for a long time, and in January 2022, these cars accounted for only 387 units in total. Of the total 387, 175 units were petrol cars; which means the Porsche Taycan outsold pure petrol cars in Norway. The Audi Q4 e-tron topped the sales chart last month, followed by the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and BMW iX. Interestingly, the cousins Skoda Enyaq and VW ID.4 hold an equal share. The Mustang Mach-E and Kia EV6 have taken 6th and 7th places respectively, with equal share. And notice that China’s Hongqi E-HS9 has also made it to the top 20 list.
