Nine out of ten new cars sold in Norway last year were fully electric vehicles, and the EV share of sales year-to-date stands at 92.7%, the Norwegian Road Federation said, bringing it close to a goal of phasing out diesel and petrol automobiles.
Tesla, which has seen declining sales in Europe this year amid CEO Elon Musk's embrace of far-right politics, offers zero-interest loans in Norway and several other countries to buyers who take delivery of a new Model Y by the end of June.
Meanwhile, Tesla's new car sales in Sweden fell 53.7% in May from a year earlier to 503 vehicles, registration data from Mobility Sweden showed on Monday.
