| The e-models here are proving a success |
Electric cars are currently the way to go in Norway, charging ahead on the sales charts. The government is really plugging their purchase. Therefore seeing their presence so high up the list is no shock.
The e-Golf and e-up! are proving popular for VW. The hybrid Auris and electric Leaf models are also in hot demand. Any suggestion that the Nissan Leaf was named after the famous Norwegian explorer Leif Erikson is pure speculation, although plausible. Tesla will be chuffed that it's S Model is 5th best seller.
