A historical record was set in the field of sales of electric cars in Norway last month, AP reported.
According to Christina Bu, the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association’s general secretary, 58.4 % of new cars sold in the country in March were battery-powered, calling it “historically high.”
Bu noted that electric cars’ share of the market in the first three months of 2019 was 48.4% and is expected to hover around 50% for the whole year.
Norway’s Parliament has voted to require that all new cars sold in the Scandinavian country be electric by 2025.
