Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands are the European countries where drivers have been the fastest to embrace electric vehicles.

In Bergen, Norway, Europe's top city for uptake of these types of vehicles, 80% of new registrations in 2020 were for electrified cars, i.e., 100% electric or plug-in hybrids.
