July was another strong month for plug-in electric car sales in Norway, where all-electric cars make up almost two-thirds of all new registrations.

In total, 8,897 new passenger plug-in electric cars were registered last month, which is 33% more than a year ago and 84.7% of the total car market! Other types of vehicles must fight for the remaining 15% (8.4% ICEs, 6.9% HEVs) before they will entirely fade in the coming years.

Stats for the month:

BEVs: 6,731 (up 53%, at 64.1% market share) + 992 "used" + 193 new vans
PHEVs: 2,166 (down 5%, at 20.6% market share)
Total: 8,897 (up 33%, at 84.7% market share)

New passenger plug-in car registrations in Norway – July 2021

So far this year, over 78,000 new passenger plug-ins were registered, which is over 82% of the total market. The remaining part is shared by conventional and hybrid models.

Stats year-to-date:

BEVs: 54,801 (up 67%, at 58.0% market share)
PHEVs: 23,447 (up 63%, at 24.8% market share)
Total: 78,248 (up 66%, at 82.9% market share)

Models

The best-selling models in July were the Ford Mustang Mach-E (898 units) and Skoda Enyaq iV (558).

According to the official data, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 was the third most registered new car for the month, with around 500 units. We guess that the South Korean manufacturer has a long queue of customers waiting for the cars.

This time, Norway's best-selling car year-to-date—the Tesla Model 3—saw only 4 registrations. Despite that, the Model 3 maintains its first place over the Toyota RAV4 (all types).
