Norway leads the world when it comes to the introduction of electric cars. In the first three months of 2016 25 percent of all newly registered autos in the country were plug-in electric vehicles. The Netherlands, Europe’s second-biggest per capita buyers of electric vehicles, trails with 1.8 percent of vehicles registered. The Norwegian government has encouraged car drivers to switch to rechargeable electric vehicles to reduce climate-changing carbon dioxide emissions with a strategy that includes tax breaks as well as building an extensive network of charging stations.
