Tesla Leads In Norway
Tesla led the charts in one of the European Union’s fastest-growing EV markets, Norway. The company emerged as Norway’s top-selling carmaker for the fifth year in a row, according to a Reuters report. Tesla ended 2025 with a market share of 19.1% in Norway, selling 27,621 cars in the country.
Overall, 96% of the cars sold in Norway in 2025 were electric vehicles, rising from 89% in 2024 and 82% in 2023. In December, almost all cars sold were EVs, accounting for 98% of total car registrations.
This was driven in part by the Norwegian government’s announcement that it would charge up to $5,000 in value-added tax per vehicle starting Jan. 1, 2026.
Continued Slump
Tesla continued to struggle in other European markets, such as France and Sweden, in December. The company’s registrations declined 66% year-on-year in France to 1,942 vehicles, while it experienced a 71% YoY fall in Sweden to 821 vehicles during the month.
The report added that Tesla registrations in the EU, the United Kingdom, and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries declined to 22,801 vehicles in November, compared to 26,191 vehicles during the same period a year ago.
Overall, Tesla’s market share declined YoY in every month of 2025 through November in the region, the report added.
TSLA stock is up 11% over the past 12 months.
