Norway is aggressively expanding its charging infrastructure, and offering incentives to EV drivers, including exemption from sales tax, registration fees and most ferry and bridge tolls, access to commuter lanes and free parking in most cities. New and used plug-in hybrid and electric cars and trucks totalled over 40,000 vehicles, with new cars accounting for over 300% of all new cars sold in Norway in 2015. The e-Golf, Tesla, and Nissan LEAF were the best selling EVs. Plug-in car sales rose to nearly 30% over 2014, with the Mitsubishi Outlander PEV topping the list. In contrast, sales of PEVs and EVs in Sweden are low as the government does not offer such incentives.
