OSLO -Tesla’s sale of new cars in Norway rose by 213% in May from a year ago to 2,600 vehicles, registration data showed on Monday, boosted by a revamped Model Y compact SUV, the country’s best-selling automobile in each of the last three years.
Year-to-date sales rose by 8.3% from the first five months of 2024.
Nine out of ten new cars sold in Norway last year were fully electric vehicles, and the EV share of sales year-to-date stands at 92.7%, the Norwegian Road Federation said, bringing it close to a goal of phasing out diesel and petrol automobiles.
Tesla, which has seen declining sales in Europe this year amid CEO Elon Musk’s embrace of far-right politics, offers zero-interest loans in Norway and several other countries to buyers who take delivery of a new Model Y by the end of June.
