Tesla was early when it comes to building out the infrastructure such as charging stations and Tesla sellers. They took a look at the tax incentives for EVs we have here and rightfully gambled that it was a potential market they should invest heavily in.
So you are saying Norway has not invested in an independent charging network?
That’s kind of surprising, considering Norway has a reputation for going all in on electric?
In Denmark Tesla has been surpassed by VW group. Although Tesla Y is still the most popular model, it’s not by much.
I predict that this time next year, Tesla won’t even be in the top 3 in Denmark.
We do have publicly owned charging, both at state level (Mer norway owned by Statkraft) and on the municipal level many places. This is in addition to private chargers from gas stations and such. But Tesla was early to the bell, and also seems to have a good reputation still.

So is the Tesla infrastructure significant in choosing a Tesla or not?
Not currently, no.
Which is what I expected, and the reason I’m surprised that Tesla remain so strong in Norway, while their sales are plummeting in Denmark.
