Norway Moves Towards Banning Gas-Burning Cars By 2025

And Elon Musk couldn’t be happier.

Norway’s Dagens Næringsliv newspaper reports that four of the country’s major parties have reached agreement on a proposal to ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel-powered cars starting in 2025. The proposal is not yet law, but one interested party celebrated a little early.

Just heard that Norway will ban new sales of fuel cars in 2025. What an amazingly awesome country. You guys rock!!

Were it to become law, the policy would obviously be positive for Musk’s Tesla TSLA -1.85% , which currently produces the most advanced electric cars in the world. But the value could be more symbolic than financial—Norway has a population of only about 5 million, and nearly 20% of the nation’s cars are already fully electric (not hybrids).

Aside from the fact that this isn’t yet law, some of the parties seem to be backpedaling from any supposed agreement. Representatives of conservative parties have described the original story as based on a misunderstanding.

As wild as it may sound to American ears, Norway is not the only government considering a ban of internal combustion vehicles. Others include India and the Netherlands.

Norway’s energy and economic profile makes the push particularly intriguing, though. Norway produces more than 90% of its local energy from renewable hydropower, allowing it to power electric cars cleanly. But it is simultaneously Europe’s largest petroleum producer, with fossil fuels accounting for 45% of exports and 20% of GDP. Were Norway to transition to a fully electric auto fleet, it would become, at least through the lens of the Paris climate accords, the geopolitical equivalent of a drug dealer that refuses to touch their own product.

Norway takes its environmental plans very seriously, as demonstrated by the latest measure it announced: a ban on all gasoline cars by 2025.

The Scandinavian country remains one of the most progressive and greenest countries after politicians from all sides of the spectrum have reached a consensus and want 100 percent of Norwegian cars to run on green energy in the next decade.

According to the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv, "FRP to eliminate all gasoline cars," a headline that refers to the right-wing populist Framstegspartiet, or Progress Party. All four parties in the country's parliament have also agreed on a new tax on electricity.

About 24 percent of the country's cars already run on electricity, and most of the country's energy is already renewable (more than 90% comes from hydro sources). Norway also plans to triple its wind energy with an investment of $3 million.

If the source of electricity is clean, electric cars are much more environmentally friendly than conventional cars. Even when power is generated using fossil fuels, electric vehicles are typically better than gasoline vehicles, with significant reductions in global carbon emissions, due to the highly carbon-intensive processes associated with gasoline.

Developed countries in Europe appear to be split in two main directions: countries such as Norway, the Netherlands and Germany are leading the way towards renewable energy, while the UK is renewing its interest in technologies such as hydraulic fracking. This is ironic, especially as a 2008 study in the United Kingdom found that electric vehicles have the potential to reduce carbon dioxide and global greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% - taking every step into account. from production to the disposal of electricity cars.
