In October 2013, Nissan LEAF was the top-selling model among all
vehicles in Norway, including gasoline-powered and hybrid vehicles. Nissan
LEAF accounted for around 6% of all sales.
Even within Europe, which leads the world in enacting environmental
policies, Norway is known for its strong environmental stance. The country
is proactively promoting uptake of EVs through incentives including
generous subsidies, exemption from value added tax (VAT) and road tolls,
free charging and parking. The country plays a central role in the European
EV market. Norwegian customers have favorably assessed the region-
specific Nordic pack including battery heater, which is adapted to the harsh
cold, as well as Nissan LEAF’s excellent all-electric performance.
