As expected, September was a very strong month for car sales in Norway. The number of new registrations increased by 15.7% year-over-year to 17,992.

The main drive of the market is the all-electric car segment, which surged to a new all-time record of almost 14,000 (up 46% year-over-year), which is 77.5% of the market - the highest level ever.

The plug-in hybrids are down 20%, so the overall result was 16,454 passenger plug-in registrations (up 30%) and at all-time record market share of 91.5%! Only 8.5% left for non-rechargeable cars.

Stats for the month:

BEVs: 13,946 (up 46%, at 77.5% market share) + 1,083 "used" + 407 new vans
PHEVs: 2,508 (down 20%, at 13.9% market share)
Total: 16,454 (up 30%, at 91.5% market share)

Models

The Tesla Model Y was the star of the show in September. We knew that it would do great after more than 2,500 units in the first 17-days and the final number is 3,564!

That's a massive delivery number (almost 20% of the market), which combined with a very high 2,218 Tesla Model 3 sales, translates to a total of 5,782 new Tesla cars and 32% of the market.

The Tesla Model 3 remains the top model in the country year-to-date (9,266 units and 7.2% share). The Tesla Model Y quickly climbs up to the #6 YTD.

The third best-selling model was the Skoda Enyaq iV (787 units). Combined with 659 Volkswagen ID.4 it would be 1,446 for the two closely related models.

Several other BEVs were also selling well, including 672 Audi e-tron, 652 Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 600 Ford Mustang Mach-E.
