As of 2018, roughly 2.75 million passenger cars were registered in Norway, making them the most popular vehicle type in the Scandinavian country. Trailers and vans accounted for the second and third highest stock of vehicles in Norway, at around 1.45 million and 477 thousand, respectively.
The country's best-selling car in 2019 was Tesla's mid-sized Model 3 sedan, which retails from 384,900 Norwegian crowns ($43,721.74), racking up an 11% market share in the California-based firm's first attempt at cracking the mass market.
There are a lot of electric vehicles (EV) in Norway period. The reason is because they are not that expensive (since they are VAT-free) and people with EV can drive in bus-lanes (avoiding traffic), are exempt of tolls and have free parking in the cities.
Since so many numbers are estimates, I'm roughly assuming that Tesla accounts for 75–85% of all fully electric vehicles sales in the US. (Note: that's not including electric bikes, electric scooters, and electric buses, of course — we're just talking about cars, crossovers, and SUVs here.)
During 2018, more than 31% of all new cars registered in Norway were full electrics. Now Nissan has announced that the LEAF is the best selling of all new cars in Norway, with 12,000 sold there last year, and the best selling electric car in Europe with 40,000 sold there last year.
The nation's favorite electric car brand has been, of course, Tesla. In July, the electric carmaker became the most popular in Norway, eclipsing Volkswagen, according to the Norwegian statistics agency. The mid-sized Model 3 was its most-sold vehicle.

Ionity's new rate of 0.79 euros/kWh will see Norwegians pay around NOK7. 80 (gross price in country-specific currency), which becomes NOK 8.40/kWh ($A1. 37/kWh converted) after Ionity has added an additional fee. This means long range electric vehicles could now cost NOK20 per mile ($A0.
As of 2019, Volkswagen (VW) was the best-selling car brand in Norway, at nearly 20 thousand newly registered units. This was a decrease of about seven thousand cars compared to 2016. Tesla came second in the ranking among the leading car brands, reaching a number of roughly 18.8 thousand cars sold that year.
Tesla has become the world's largest electric automaker based on cumulative sales as it surpasses China's BYD even when accounting for the latter's plug-in hybrid sales.

The number of electric vehicle (EV) models available to European buyers will jump from fewer than 100 to 175 by the end of 2020, according to data firm IHS Markit. By 2025 there will be more than 330, based on an analysis of company announcements.
By sustaining strong sales over the last few months and over 4,000 deliveries last month alone, the Netherlands has now surpassed Norway as Tesla's biggest European market for the year (via TMC):
Tesla still didn't turn an annual profit — in fact, it lost $862 million in 2019. But that was better than the $1 billion loss the company posted in 2018.
While the United States continues to be the company's most important target market, Tesla was able to successfully tap into the Chinese and European markets, as well: Dutch customers contributed some 1.6 billion U.S. dollars to Tesla's revenue in 2019.
New York (CNN Business) Tesla sold 112,000 cars last quarter and 367,500 in 2019, the company reported Friday. That met the company's forecast, which some analysts believed Tesla was in danger of missing. Tesla (TSLA) delivered 50% more vehicles than the previous year.
