The document presents Norway’s electrification progress for light duty vehicles (LDVs) and heavy duty vehicles (HDVs). Norway has 994,000 electric LDVs and 5,300 electric HDVs from a total fleet of 3.4 million LDVs and 73,000 HDVs. In April 2026, EV market share reached 98.6 percent with 107 municipalities achieving 100 percent market share. The document reports EVs represent 2-7 percent of registered vehicle fires, with fossil fuelled vehicles accounting for up to 90 percent. Research findings indicate battery degradation is driven by operating conditions, with cold climate introducing dual effects and battery management systems being key durability drivers.
