Almost all common cars will be much more expensive, electric cars will receive a new tax, and rechargeable hybrids will be more difficult.
The automobile market is facing big changes. By 2025, it has been politically decided that only electric cars will be sold in Norway.
Since Norway cannot ban cars that can be sold in the EEA area, this must be resolved if most people cannot afford to buy anything but electric cars. This means considerably higher fees.

Single rate increased
The single car tax is one of the most important sources of revenue in the state and is calculated in a very complicated way, where the three most important items are the weight of the car, CO2 emissions and NOx emissions – as well as compensation for rechargeable hybrids with great electrical autonomy.
In the proposed State Budget for 2021, the government mainly wants to continue with the current tax system, but proposes a significant increase in CO2 taxes on cars that have a CO2 emission of more than 87 grams. CO2 emissions above this level will have a tax increase of up to 27.3 percent.
This means that virtually all normal gasoline and diesel cars will have a noticeable tax increase. This has a particular effect for cars with emissions between 78 and 155 grams.

Rechargeable hybrids are getting more and more expensive
Rechargeable hybrids are also getting more and more expensive. This is done through cars that must have a longer pure electric range to get the maximum tax reduction:
– For rechargeable hybrid cars, it is proposed to increase the electric range requirement to obtain the maximum weight deduction in the single tariff from 50 to 75 km. Increased requirements for electric range provide incentives to choose cars with greater range, the government writes.
75 kilometers means that the new Toytoa RAV4 in rechargeable version gets the maximum deduction.

Road Use Fee and Traffic Insurance Fee – New Electric Car Fee
In the case of gasoline, the CO2 tax has been increased from NOK 1.26 to NOK 1.37 per liter, an increase of up to 8.7%.
Also, the pure toll is adjusted as follows:
- Fuel: From 4.91 to 5.01 crowns per liter
- Diesel: NOK 3.62 to NOK 3.58 per liter (1.1% decrease)
- Biodiesel within the turnover requirements: From 3.62 to 3.66 crowns per liter
The government also chooses to increase the auto insurance tax, formerly known as the annual tax. This is a fee that is paid per day the car is registered.
This includes the introduction of the tax on electric cars, equal to motorcycles.
Traffic insurance fee
| Vehicle type | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Gasoline and diesel cars with factory installed particulate filter | 8.4 crowns | 8.12 crowns |
| Diesel cars without factory installed particulate filter | 9.80 crowns | 9.47 crowns |
| Motorcycles and electric cars (new) | 5.85 crowns | 5.65 crowns |
| Tractors, mopeds, etc. | 1.36 crowns | 1.31 crowns |
Critical NAF
– The budget means that it becomes more expensive to buy a car and more expensive to own a car. NAF believes that this is going in the wrong direction. The car is our most important means of transport and part of the climate solution, says NAF chief Stig Skjøstad in a comment on the changes.
– We see that many parties propose to increase taxes on cars in the coming years. We fear that what we see now from the government is the start of a larger wave of taxes on automobiles, which we warn against, says the head of the NAF.
NAF believes that it is important that car taxes do not go up so that people can afford to buy an environmentally friendly and traffic safe car. At the same time, the unions say that the renewal of the car fleet is one of the most important instruments for a continuous decrease in fatalities and serious injuries.
– All proposals that aim to make car ownership and purchase more expensive are going in the wrong direction to get safe and environmentally friendly cars on the road. Politicians want to go from using carrots to whips in green change. This is not the way to go to get people involved, says Skjøstad.
