Norway electrified a decade ahead of everyone else. Buyers understand range, charging and resale value — no market education needed; the product speaks for itself.
CNCAR · OSLO
Bringing Chinese EVs into the world's most mature EV market.
把中国电动车，带进全球最成熟的电动车市场。
CNCAR is an Oslo-based consultancy dedicated to helping Chinese car brands enter and grow in Norway — homologation, tax, distribution and after-sales, delivered as one engagement.
Battery-electric vehicles made up about 95% of new car registrations in Norway in 2025, the highest share in the world.
Norway is outside the EU and charges 0 import duty on cars, so it has not adopted the EU's tariffs on Chinese EVs.
BYD, XPeng, NIO, MG and other Chinese brands already sell in Norway, together holding over 10% of the market.
Norway has over 27,000 public charging points, a mature nationwide network that leaves buyers with no range anxiety.

为什么是挪威
Why Norway
For a Chinese OEM, Norway is more than a market of five and a half million people — it is the best possible gateway to Europe.
Europe's proving ground
NIO, XPeng and BYD all chose Norway as their first European market. Validate product, pricing and service here, then scale to the continent.
No tariffs, shared homologation
Norway levies no import duty on passenger cars and has not adopted the EU's countervailing tariffs on Chinese EVs. EU whole-vehicle type approval applies directly via the EEA agreement.
Transparent rules, strong purchasing power
Regulatory processes are digital, predictable and transparent, and purchasing power is among Europe's highest. Norwegians pay fair prices for good products.
