Domestic new forces have also seized the opportunity in Norway and have chosen Norway as the first stop for their European strategies. On September 30th last year, NIO announced that the ES8 was officially listed in Norway and started delivery, and in December, XPeng Motors announced that the first batch of XPeng G3i had arrived in Norway.
According to the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV), in January of this year, the number of new car registrations per day decreased by 30% compared to the same period last year. OFV pointed out that the decrease in the number of imported vehicles affected the registration numbers, as evidenced by the sharp drop in Tesla’s registration numbers in January. OFV stated that the Tesla Model 3 was the most popular vehicle in Norway in 2021, but fell to 48th place in last month’s OFV registration statistics.
