In what was a record-breaking year for Porsche with over 300,000 cars delivered, the Taycan managed to outsell the 911 to climb onto the last place of the podium. It signals a wind of change, which in Europe has its origins in Nordic countries where electric vehicles have been extremely popular for several years. So much so that Zuffenhausen's first EV outsold all gasoline engine-only cars combined last month in Norway.
Numbers released by the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV) show a total of 7,957 vehicles were purchased in January. Of these, only 387 came with either a gasoline or diesel engine without any hybrid assistance. Less than half of them had the former type of powertrain as people bought just 175 cars fueled exclusively with gasoline. By comparison, the Taycan found 181 new homes, thus outselling all gas-only cars combined by six units.
