Norwegians registered a higher share of electric cars in March than ever before, helped by a new monthly record in the Nordic country for Tesla Inc.’s Model Y.

Almost 87% of the 19,366 cars sold in March were electric, the Norwegian Road Federation OFV said Monday. Diesel and gasoline cars accounted for 2.7% of sales during the month, OFV said, adding the nation was on track for a 90% share of EVs in new car sales by the year-end.
