Electric car adoption Norway
Our World in Data's line chart drew 229.8K views on X: 3.9x its typical post and #7 of 139 Our World in Data charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
Every third car in Norway is now an electric car.
Why it spread
The post spread because it paired a clear, self-explaining line chart with a hot topic that week, reaching 229,767 views, 631 likes, 110 reposts, 29 quotes, and 33 saves.
What worked
- The chart type is a line, which makes the one-third share of electric cars in Norway easy to follow over time.
- The post text states the finding plainly: every third car in Norway is now an electric car, so the chart explains itself without extra context.
- The account is branded, shows a source line, and the source reach and quote rate both fall in the top quarter, which helped the post travel.
What to borrow
We could use the same self-labelling line chart form and a plain one-sentence headline to frame our own data when we have a hot topic that week.
Careful
Do not copy the exact Norway electric car claim or over-read the missing engagement details, since likes, reposts, quotes, saves, and views are given but comments and account-typical benchmarks are not.
Written by our analysis model from the measured numbers above, not by Our World in Data.
