Norway has long, cold winters and steep mountains. Not exactly the ideal place for electric cars, one would think. Nevertheless, Norway is the country in the world with the most electric cars in relation to the population. No less than 78% of new car sales are now electric. How did this happen? How has the Norwegian electric car success influenced the uptake of electric cars in other countries? And what can the rest of the world learn from us?
Christina Bu has been lead the Norwegian EV Association since 2014, and consolidated her position both in Norway and globally as an advocate for accelerating the EV uptake. In the years of her leadership, the association grew from 10 000 members in 2014 to 120 000 today. Representing EV drivers nationwide, the association has local chapters across Norway and over 50 staff members.
