After three decades of progressive policies promoting EVs and telling fossil fuel-powered vehicles to get lost, 88.9 percent of Norway’s new car sales in 2024 were electric. https://www.vice.com/en/article/norway-could-become-the-first-country-with-all-electric-vehicles/ Following the fourth successive global monthly record of passenger car and light-duty EV sales, 17.1 million units were sold in 2024. December 2024 resulted in over 1.9 million EV units sold, a growth of 5% on the previous month’s record, and all major regions grew monthly and yearly in December 2024. Overall, global EV sales grew by 25% in 2024 compared to 2023. https://rhomotion.com/news/over-17-million-evs-sold-in-2024-record-year/ As the famous saying goes, "slow and steady wins the race."
