Policy Certainty Drives EV Takeoff

When a country sets a clear, sustained target for ending fossil‑car sales and aligns incentives, infrastructure and regulation (e.g., Norway’s non‑binding 2025 target plus consistent policy), market adoption can accelerate to near‑completion within a decade. The Norway December 2025 data (≈97% EV share of new cars; EVs outnumber diesels) provides an empirical case that policy credibility matters materially for sectoral decarbonization. — This reframes transport decarbonization from a technological question to a governance lesson: durable commitments and aligned policy reduce political risk and produce measurable emissions and market outcomes that other governments can emulate or adapt.
