Obwohl Norwegen der achtgrößte Rohölexporteur der Welt ist, verbietet das Land ab 2025 den Verkauf neuer Benzinautos.

Submission Statement

Banning gasoline cars isn’t that radical a step for Norway – 90% of new cars sold there are already EVs. This also doesn’t mean the disappearance of ICE cars from Norwegian roads, the old stock will have to gradually disappear as it ages out.

The EU (which Norway isn’t in) has set 2035 as the date for banning the sale of new gasoline cars there. However, [many think most car makers will have stopped selling them in Europe before that date.](https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2024/1215/1380408-eu-ban-petrol-diesel-cars-2035-emissions-standards-euro-7/#:~:text=Ultimately%2C%20the%20ban%20in%202035,and%20fleet%20average%20efficiency%20requirements.) As their market share shrinks, it will become unprofitable to make them anymore.

Please don’t think Norway is doing this for the planet.they are doing it as they have enough hydro power that they are close to exploring it. They are one of the biggest oil and gas produces in the world. The money they make goes into the stock market. They control 1.2% of the market. All oil money.

They are going electric because it is better for their wealth growth. Nothing more.
