Tesla heaven? Norway mulls ‘banning’ petrol & diesel cars by 2025, Elon Musk delighted


Published on Jun 5, 2016
Norwegian MPs have reportedly agreed to ban or at least significantly reduce the sales of all cars run on fossil fuel after 2025. The report was welcomed with enthusiasm by the proponents of electric vehicles, including tech mogul Elon Musk of Tesla Motors.
The news broke following interparty discussion of the national transport plan eyeing only zero emission vehicles to be sold within 10 years.

Norwegian Liberal Party MP Ola Elverstuen told local outlet Dagens Naeringsliv that his fellow MPs and those of the Progress Party, the Christian Democrats and the Conservative Party have reached a groundbreaking decision to meet the goals. Those have been outlined in the ambitious national transport plan 2018-2029 which stipulates gradually banning all types of vehicles that harm the environment such as fuel-powered cars, vans, busies and heavy vehicles.
