Tesla sales were higher than all gasoline and diesel passenger car sales combined.
Norway had another great month of plug-in electric car sales in September 2019 as the market share increased to the 2nd best level ever of close to two thirds.
In total, the number of new passenger plug-in car registrations was 7,225, which is 13.1% more year-over-year at 64.8% market share. Many countries would be extremely happy to achieve 4.8%, which makes a 64.8% share kind of seem other-worldly.

Very encouraging is that all-electric car sales continue to increase, although the plug-in hybrids went down for the 15th consecutive month. A significant rate of PHEV decline indicates that consumers lost a lot of interest in this bridging technology and instead look forward to the zero-emission future.
