Particularly in Norway, which is regarded as the global leader in the adoption of electric vehicles, the Tesla Model Y is a force to be reckoned with. The Tesla Model Y is consolidating its domination in Norway this month, and the competition is not even close.
Given that sales of the all-electric crossover fell sharply in April and May, the Model Y's year-to-date record in Norway is particularly outstanding. This was most likely caused by the difficulties that Gigafactory Shanghai encountered, which was forced to close in April as a result of China's strict Covid-19 regulations.
Despite the difficulties Tesla encountered this quarter, the Model Y was still able to maintain its lead in Norway's EV sales this year, which says a lot about the strength of the car in the country's automotive market. The battle is fierce because Norway is one of the nations with the highest concentration of electric vehicle sales worldwide.

Drivers of electric vehicles can take advantage of various benefits in Norway, including free access to road ferries and lower taxes if they buy EVs. So it came as no surprise that a staggering 86 percent of all cars sold in the nation in April were electric vehicles. Also very popular were vehicles like the Model Y and the Volkswagen ID.4, which satisfy many consumer needs because they are crossovers.
