If it.were truly 1/9 we wouldn’t be having this conversation because all vehicles would be EVs.

"Battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 97.8% of all new passenger car registrations in Norway through the first eight months of 2026, according to the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV)." source

"New energy vehicles (NEVs)—including pure electric and plug-in hybrid cars—accounted for a record 65.2% of new car sales in mainland China" source

Yeah some markets are definitely adopting faster than others. Different tax regimes, incentives etc...

It will be interesting when Norways fleet share tips over to majority EV.
