Nøkkelendringer
EV Incentive Structure Changes
Gjelder fra 1. januar 2026
Extensive EV benefits
EVs exempt from purchase tax, reduced toll rates (up to 50% discount), free municipal parking, and bus lane access in some areas
Phased reduction of benefits
EV toll discounts reduced to maximum 30% of regular rate; weight-based purchase fee introduced for heaviest EVs over 2,000kg; free parking phased out in Oslo and Bergen
Offisiell kilde: Norwegian Tax Administration
Kjørelærerens tips
“Norway is gradually reducing EV incentives as electric cars now dominate new sales (over 90%). Toll discounts are capped at 30% instead of 50%. The heaviest EVs now pay a weight-based fee due to increased road wear. Free parking for EVs is ending in major cities.”
EU GSR2 Phase 3: Advanced Driver Distraction Warning
Gjelder fra 7. juli 2026
Basic ADAS required
Since July 2024, new cars required ISA, AEB, lane-keeping assistance, and drowsiness detection as part of EEA agreement
Camera-based distraction monitoring mandatory
All new cars must have Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW) with in-cabin camera detecting driver inattention, phone use, or drowsiness
Offisiell kilde: EU General Safety Regulation 2
Kjørelærerens tips
“As an EEA member, Norway follows EU vehicle regulations. From July 2026, new cars will have cameras monitoring your attention. This is on top of ISA, which already alerts you when exceeding speed limits. These systems cannot be permanently disabled.”
Zero-Emission Zones Expansion in Oslo and Bergen
Gjelder fra 1. mars 2026
Limited zero-emission areas
Zero-emission requirements applied mainly to city buses and some delivery vehicles in Oslo city center
Expanded zero-emission zones
Oslo expands zero-emission zone to cover larger city center area; Bergen introduces zero-emission zone for commercial vehicles; diesel vehicles face restrictions during high-pollution periods
Offisiell kilde: Oslo Kommune
Kjørelærerens tips
“Oslo and Bergen are expanding areas where only zero-emission vehicles are allowed. This primarily affects commercial and delivery vehicles, but diesel cars may also be restricted during high-pollution days. Check bymiljo.no before driving into city centers.”

Re: New Average Speed Camera Sections on National Roads
Kjørelærerens tips
“Norway is expanding its average speed camera network (streknings-ATK). Unlike point cameras, these measure your speed over several kilometers, so braking at the camera doesn't help. Maintain the speed limit throughout the entire section. New sections are being added on E6, E18, and E39.”
Re: Increased Mobile Phone Penalty
Kjørelærerens tips
“Mobile phone fines in Norway have increased to NOK 7,000 (approximately €600) and now carry 3 penalty points. With only 8 points before losing your license, one phone violation uses up nearly 40% of your allowance. Use hands-free or pull over.”
