Norway mulls over banning sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2025

Norway might be getting aggressive in getting rid of gas-powered vehicles on its roads. A local business newspaper Dagens Næringsliv reports that the Scandinavian country is considering banning the sale of gasoline and diesel cars by the year 2025. Norway is considered one of the more progressive nations when it comes to the use of electric cars and the reduction of fuel-based vehicles. Around 24 percent of vehicles sold in the country are already electric. This plan, while far from being set in stone, is being discussed by the four main political parties in the country and they seem keen on making this part of Norway’s national energy plan. This push towards electric is, of course, supported by Tesla CEO Elon Musk who tweeted the photo of the newspaper’s front page with this main headline.
