Petrol-only sales are especially weak, with under 1% of the market so far in 2024. Diesel-only share is around 2.5% of the market YTD.Having launched back in January, the new Volvo EX30 has had a great climb, and reached the top spot in April, with 1,095 units sold.
This undercuts the price of the very popular Hyundai Kona, which has been in Norway’s top 10 since 2018. The Kona that comes with a closely matched 65.4 kWh battery has an MSRP of NOK 388,900 . The Kona is now the slightly larger of the two , however, and has about 8% more real world range. There were a few new BEV models debuting in April. The Smart #3 saw 5 units registered, its first since a single unit had appeared in February. The Smart #3 shares a platform with the Volvo EX30, but is larger and more expensive.. The Seal is a Tesla Model 3 rival, whereas the Dolphin is an MG4 rival. These are relatively good value BEVs, and are huge sellers in China, so let’s see how they get on.

Plugin EVs Take 91.5% Share in Norway's Auto MarketMarch’s auto market in Norway saw plugin EVs taking a 91.5% share, up from 91.1% compared to the previous year. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) alone accounted for almost 90% of the market share. The increase in plugin EVs is attributed to a policy change that came into effect on January 1, which aimed to encourage buyers to choose BEVs over plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). PHEV sales experienced a surge in December 2023, reaching a 16% share, but since January, their share has decreased to 2% in Q1 2024. On the other hand, BEV share has increased from 83% in 2023 to 90.2% in Q1 2024. Although PHEV share is expected to recover slightly in the coming months, it will not reach previous levels due to the policy's focus on promoting BEVs. Overall, the auto market in Norway has seen a decline in volumes for most powertrains, with PHEVs being the most affected, falling to 25% of their year-on-year volume.
