Norway November 2025: Tesla hits 31.2% share in record market

11 December 2025 at 06:47

The Tesla Model Y holds 18.3% of the Norwegian market in November.

The Norwegian new car market in November is boosted by fears of lowered VAT floor to NOK 300,000 (US$29,700) on new electric cars by January 1st. Overall sales are up a whopping 70.2% year-on-year to 19,899 units, the largest November volume in Norway’s history. Year-to-date volumes are up 25.5% to 144,362. BEV sales are up 77.6% to 19,427 and 97.6% share vs. 93.6% a year ago and up 34.2% year-to-date to 137,887 and 95.5% share vs. 89.3% over the same period in 2024. Meanwhile HEVs are off -42.5% to 161 and 0.8% share, PHEVs edge down -1.3% to 152 and 0.8% also, diesel is at 0.7% share and petrol at 0.1%. For the first time, 4Γ—4 share surpasses 80% and 80.6% vs. 76.8% a year ago.

Tesla shoots up 175.2% to 6,215 sales and 31.2% share, its best result since March 2023 (7,899 and 40.8% share). Thanks to year-to-date sales up 34.6% to 28,606, Tesla has already beaten the annual brand sales record previously detained by Volkswagen in 2016 (26,572). Volkswagen (+35.7%) trails the market to 11% share vs. 12.9% so far this year but Volvo (+178.2%) also stuns to 9.4% share vs. 7.9%. This means the Top 3 carmakers hold over 50% of the market (51.6%). Kia (+149.3%), Hyundai (+82.4%) and Ford (+75.9%) also impress in the remainder of the Top 10. Of note, there are no Chinese brands among the 10 best-sellers, with Xpeng (+113.3%) at #11 and MG (+698.4%) at #12. Polestar is up 138.8%, Mazda up 893.8%, Renault up 191.4% and Zeekr up 1950%.

Model-wise, the Tesla Model Y is up 144.7% to 18.3% share and is now just 540 sales away from breaking the annual model sales record it currently holds (23,088 in 2023). The Tesla Model 3 (+235.3%) holds the 2nd spot and reaches 12.9% share, its highest since September 2024. The Volvo EX40 (+462%) stays on the podium, distancing the VW ID.4 (+18.1%) and ID.7 (+59.5%), both disappointing in context.
