Tesla leads in 1H 2023 with Model Y

Leading each of the first six months of 2023, it came as no surprise that Model Y became the best-selling car in Norway. It sold 15,437 units in the first half of the year, more than the combined sales of its five closest competitors, according to EU-EVs. In second place is Volkswagen ID.4 with 3,847 units. Volkswagen ID.Buzz is in third place with 2,697 sales. In fourth place is Volvo XC40 with 2,672 units. Škoda Enyaq is in fifth place with 2,520 sales.

Norway is the country with the highest level of EV adoption. In fact, competition there is only among electric vehicles, and cars with internal combustion engines make up only about 10% of the car market. At the same time, about 83% of the market share is accounted for by pure electric vehicles and about 7% by plug-in hybrids. Keep in mind that the data may change from month to month, albeit with relatively small fluctuations.
