Electric vehicle statistics
EV statistics give an overview of how quickly electric vehicles are spreading across the Nordic and Baltic region. On this page you will find EV counts by country, market growth and EVs per capita. Data is based on national vehicle registry statistics, such as the Estonian Transport Administration, Traficom in Finland and Transportstyrelsen in Sweden.
EV adoption has grown significantly over the past decade. The Nordics have been pioneers in EV uptake, especially Norway, where electric vehicles make up a large share of new car sales. In the Baltics, growth has been slower but EV numbers have risen quickly in recent years thanks to new models, charging network expansion and government incentives.

EVs in Nordic and Baltic countries
The Nordic and Baltic region is among the fastest-growing in Europe for EV adoption. Norway leads the world in EV penetration, while Sweden and Finland have shown strong growth in recent years. In the Baltics – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – EV numbers are also rising quickly, although the share of electric vehicles in the total fleet is still smaller than in the Nordics.
| Country | Electric vehicles | EVs per 1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| EV statistics in Norway | 945,182 | 171.9 |
| EV statistics in Sweden | 534,560 | 50.9 |
| EV statistics in Finland | 164,706 | 29.4 |
| EV statistics in Estonia | 10,403 | 7.6 |
| EV statistics in Latvia | 9,234 | 5 |
| EV statistics in Lithuania | 16,811 | 5.9 |
EV penetration by country
EV penetration differs significantly between countries. Norway leads clearly, with the world's highest EVs per capita. Sweden and Finland are growing rapidly thanks to government incentives and an expanding charging network. In the Baltics, EV share is smaller but growth has been notable in recent years. Estonia has exceeded 10,000 EVs and the charging network expands every year. For a more detailed overview of each country, see the corresponding statistics pages.
EV trend in Europe
EV sales in Europe have grown many times over the past decade. The EU goal to reduce transport CO₂ emissions has brought greater investment in EVs and charging infrastructure. The Nordics have been pioneers in EV adoption, but other European countries are also moving quickly in the same direction. New EV models, better battery technology and falling prices are making electric cars increasingly accessible.
EV development in the Nordics and Baltics
Several factors affect EV adoption, including government incentives, charging infrastructure development and the arrival of new EV models. Norway has been a pioneer in EV uptake, offering tax benefits and a strong charging network. Sweden and Finland have invested heavily in EV charging infrastructure in recent years. In the Baltics, EV growth has been particularly visible since 2022, when several new models arrived and the charging network began to expand rapidly.
