Abstract

Electric vehicles play an important role in Norway´s efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions from transport. With more than 13 000 electric vehicles on the nation´s roads, Norway is on top of the rank in number of vehicles compared to the number of inhabitants. Explanations for this success are a generous incentive scheme for zero emission vehicles and a fruitful collaboration between the public and private sector. A report on strategy with recommendations for the further build-up of infrastructure was delivered in 2012, which lays the grounds for a national strategy to be delivered within 2013.
