See The Best Selling Models<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not all nations and regions will be contributing equally to this growth, of course. IEA expects EVs to account for half of all car sales in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/china\/\">China<\/a>, but only one in four in Europe, where some subsidies have been phased out, and one in nine in America. In less wealthy, developing countries with patchy access to chargers, EV sales will be even less significant, while they will be the norm in countries that have legislated to prioritize electric cars. Four out of every five cars sold in Norway last year was battery-powered.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-a-mid&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-oc-2&#215;1&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article Thumbnails Organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<p>One of the barriers to even greater uptake of electric vehicles is their higher cost versus combustion-engined cars, even after price cuts instigated by the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/tesla\/\">Tesla<\/a>, which reduced prices again this weekend to keep pace with Chinese rivals.
