Over 80 percent of new cars sold in Norway were electric in 2023::New figures released by the Norwegian Road Federation say 82.4 percent of new cars sold in the country last year were electric, up from 79.3 percent in 2022. Tesla, Toyota, and Volkswagen were the most popular brands, with Tesla’s Model Y making up almost a fifth of new sales. Reuters notes that Norway intends to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in 2025.
AFAIK Toyota Yaris doesn’t exist as an EV, only Hybrid (and ICE).
Hybrid is not electric, it’s not ICE either, that’s why it’s called Hybrid!
But the Yaris isn’t even a proper plugin Hybrid, because it’s “self charging” meaning it drives on gasoline that is used to make the electricity to drive. You can’t even charge it!!! If you put Gas/Petrol in it to drive, it’s not an electric, it’s not even a hybrid, it’s a gasoline/petrol car!!!
Especially law makers need to get that through their thick heads. And please don’t buy the Toyota propaganda.
Self charging needs to be measured as 100% gas/petrol driven cars, because that’s what it is.
The article doesn’t claim the Yaris is an EV. It claims that 80% op total car sales were EV’s. The Yaris probably is in the 20%. The Toyota BZ4X is in the 80%.
Ah yes I see that now, kind of poor journalism to not mark which are actually electric, making it just a list of 20 cars that says nothing except they are in the top 20. Not very useful. It only says Toyota Yaris, which exist as both self charging and normal ICE, and Kona exist both as EV and ICE, so are they lumped together?
Stupid schematic to include, when it doesn’t say anything relevant to the article.
They indeed should have pointed out which ones are EV’s and which aren’t.
Thanks, I know I made a mistake, but all the cars I knew on that list were Electric. Because currently we only look at electric for our next car.
So I think it’s a mistake that’s easy to make.
Nothing here suggests Yaris is electric. It is a list of all the most popular models in Norway (including ICE) with their market shares, and the electric ones (so not Yaris) are over 82%. Yaris would be in the gas-hybrid category of 6%, or in the plug-in hybrid category with another 8%.
Yes, that’s already been stated, and I have recognized that.
Hybrid means “both this and that”, not “neither this nor that”. I’m pretty sure kids learn that in elementary school, middle school at the very latest 🤦
You’re also wrong about the rest but I don’t care enough about your nonsense to go into further detail.
