Welcome to Oslo!
– the EV Capital

The electromobility ecosystems of the world develop fast. E-mobility becomes more and more advanced and mainstream. Norway is years ahead of most other countries in terms of Electric Vehicle market penetration, and the city of Oslo is full of green inspiration. EVS35 in Oslo is a more relevant destination than ever, and we look forward to finally meet again for real!

  • Oslo is leading the way in the shift to zero emission vehicles. In 2020, Oslo had a record of 63% market share for BEVs and 16% for PHEVs

  • Oslo has ambitious goals for climate and emission reductions. 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2020 and 95% by 2030. A large share of this reduction is dependent on the transport sector

  • In addition to zero emission passenger cars, Oslo has a goal of transforming the public transport system to zero emission by 2020 (buses and ferries). By 2022 all taxies should also be zero emission

  • The European Green Capital was awarded to Oslo for 2019. The city of Oslo also supports the initiative to host EVS35

Why Oslo and Norway?

  • The whole world looks to Norway to learn from the Norwegian EV policy and market
  • First early mass market in the world with 54% market share for BEVs in 2020 on a national level
  • The Norwegian Parliament has an ambitious goal of 100% market share for zero emission vehicles by 2025
  • National grid of fast chargers every 50 km on main roads all over Norway
  • Rapid increase in commercial charging infrastructure, both basic home charging and fast charging

Norwegian EV policy and market

The Norwegian market share for electric vehicles is by far world leading at 74% in % BEV and 20% PHEV). Over 350.000 BEVs are registered in Norway in the beginning of 2021, constituting to over 12% of the total fleet passenger cars.

The Norwegian Parliament and Government have a goal that all new cars sold from 2025 should be zero emission.

This goal will be achieved by extending and adjusting the car tax system based on the polluter pays principle. This long-term Norwegian EV policy will contribute to further growth in the EV market and Norway will most likely still be heading the development of electrification in the transport sector. By 2022 the Norwegian EV Association anticipate there will be 600.000 BEVs registered in Norway.
