Norway's electric vehicle transition continued to progress in June, with plugin electric vehicle share of 89.9%, up from 84.9% year-on-year.
The only non-BEVs in Norway’s top 20 best selling autos in June were two Toyotas. The 5th spot was taken by the RAV4 , and the 15th spot by the Yaris/Yaris Cross .
The Yaris makes a bit more sense. Starting from just under €28,000, there are not many small-hatchback BEVs to compete on both price and on range. The now-phased-out VW e-Up! was lower priced but at a WLTP range rating of 258 km it was not near the Yaris for perceived competance as an all-rounder. For the remaining non-plugins like the Yaris to be outcompeted by BEVs in Norway requires the new generation of ground-up-designed, small BEVs, like the BYD Dolphin and others, which can more closely compete both on price and on practicality . Until such compelling models are offered at lower price points , I don’t see how BEVs can close out the last few percent of sales.
