Norway is an anomaly.

Examples for Europe, 2025 vs. 2024:

  Sweden: -68%
  Belgium: -53%
  Germany: -48%
  France: -37%
  Switzerland: -28%
  Portugal: -22%
  Italy: -18%
Edit: I fail list formatting

The rest of the European market is a "bloodbath".

Is this important market?

Norway is just 5-6 million population. Does being number 1 in Norway even mean anything?

UK is near 70million. Germany 80million. What about the stats for those? How many Teslas were sold as percentage in UK?

IIRC Norway is one of the few markets where EV growth is positive rather than negative, due to their abundant electric gen and other factors

I don’t think you do recall correctly. Electrek has European EV sales at +33% in 2025 over 2024. It’s not possible for Norway to turn a negative in the rest of Europe into an overall positive. https://electrek.co/2025/12/11/global-ev-sales-jump-21-in-20...
