The Norwegian Road Traffic Information Council has reported a milestone -- the number of fully electric vehicles on roads has surpassed the number of gas cars for the first time ever!
Here is an overview of the OFV data showing the total of 2,872,652 vehicles in Norway listed by fuel type, with unit count, and current share on roads:
Yep. This is especially annoying when you consider that a 26 % share is newsworthy in itself. However, the real headline should be the fact that 94.2 % of all cars registered in august (in Norway) were fully battery electric!
That’s electric Vs pure gasoline only. Technically true, and it shows BEV are progressing in terms of share of cars on the road, but this is a very specific milestone that is only useful for click-baiting.

So it’s really 61% vs 26%.

I wonder where did authors got the title from? Even if you add hybrids and whatnot, you won’t get over 50%. 🫣

Ah, ok, they left diesel cars out of the comparison. Then title makes sense. Thanks.
