Jakarta –
Norway is almost certain to be the first country to experience the extinction of gasoline cars. With electric vehicle users at nearly 100%, gasoline car sales are predicted to completely disappear from the country by 2022.
Initially, Norway targeted the country to be free from selling fuel-oil cars by 2025. However, recent developments have suggested that the country could no longer sell gasoline vehicles by April 2022.
The estimate comes from a report made by the Norwegian Automobile Federation. It is stated that in recent times, sales of gasoline-fueled cars have consistently declined. From the report, it is predicted that the last gasoline car sales in the country will occur seven months from now. Or in April 2022.
In the Norwegian car sales report, in recent times the sales figures for gasoline cars have continued to be below 10%. When compared to 2020, the figure is down 21%.
If the trend persists, then gasoline car sales in Norway will hit zero in April 2022. This is much faster because it was originally estimated that gasoline cars would still be sold until 2025.
For the record, Norway considers hybrid cars as electric vehicles. This can actually be said to deviate from the general assumption, because hybrid cars still use fuel oil as the main driver of the vehicle.

However, sales of hybrid cars in Norway are also not big. The figure is only 10% of total car sales in the country.
Statistics note that of the 15 cars sold in Norway since the start of this year, 14 of them are electric vehicles. Thus quoted from electrek.
Low taxes and big incentives make electric cars sell well in Norway
Norway is the leading country in terms of the use of electric cars in the world. The people of this country are willing to flock to environmentally friendly vehicles because of the tax breaks provided by the government.
In addition, the government also increased the tax on fuel oil, which made the price of gasoline feel much more expensive than charging a car battery. These policies give electric car buyers many advantages over buying conventional cars.
Recently, the government has actually removed incentives that benefit electric car users. Among them there is no more free parking and free toll entry. However, with the tax relief still in effect, the public still chooses to buy an electric car.
It was also stated that the Norwegian public currently has a wide choice of brands and types of electric cars. In addition, there is a culture and trend in society to buy electric cars, because they are aware that in the next few years filling gas at gas stations will be very difficult because the number continues to decrease.
Currently, many gas stations in Norway have become electric car charging stations.
